About Saundra

Saundra Green is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 16 years of clinical experience. She blends psychotherapy and life coaching to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by relationship and life transitions. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she writes plainly so clients understand next steps.

Many people come to her for relationship concerns, parenting questions, career crossroads, or anger and communication struggles. She also works with those discouraged by online dating and the pressures of social media in relationships.

Background and approach

The goal in early sessions is to identify what matters most and set small, practical steps forward. Saundra draws on several approaches to shape sessions to each person. She uses Existential ideas to look at meaning and choice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on values and action, and Client-Centered techniques to keep conversations respectful and collaborative.

Cognitive Behavioral tools are added when patterns and behaviors need practical change. She wrote a book during the pandemic titled Clarity, 7 Steps From Getting Unstuck to Taking Action, which some clients use as a primer between sessions. Sessions increasingly include coaching elements when people want concrete goals and follow-through.

Her style is direct but compassionate. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats each person with sensitivity. If someone is ready to make changes, she helps them plan realistic next steps and stay accountable.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Existential Therapy looks at life choices, meaning, and values. It helps when someone feels adrift, struggles with purpose, or faces major life changes by encouraging clearer decisions and ownership of choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and making behavioral changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current close connections, which can help with communication and intimacy problems.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then shape sessions together. Clients often try a blend of methods to see what produces steady progress, and adjustments are made along the way in collaboration with the therapist.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing accountability. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and continue work even when schedules or locations change.
