About Chrisandra
Chrisandra Kovarek is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, motivation and self-esteem issues, and depression. Her focus also includes grief, trauma, addictions, sleep and eating problems, and challenges related to parenting and caregiving.
She uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to address anxious thoughts and low mood. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered techniques to support values-based goals and clearer self-understanding.
Sessions aim to combine straightforward skill practice with focused conversation. Clients can expect goal setting, experiments to test new behaviors, and attention to how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Mindfulness strategies and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are available when they fit the work.
Her background includes many years working with adults on life changes such as divorce, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and addiction recovery. She has experience supporting people coping with abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, and career transitions. She also addresses challenges linked to aging and cancer caregiving.
Chrisandra’s approach is practical and collaborative. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and tracks what is working. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Chrisandra commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that fit remote work. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns, testing small behavior changes, and tracking results; it helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and practicing actions that align with those values even when emotions are difficult; it is useful for motivation, grief, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first and adjusts based on what helps. Clients and therapist set goals together and review which strategies are making a difference over time.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Ask about video or phone choices when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or caregiving breaks can be used for appointments.
