About Saundra

Saundra Green is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of clinical experience. She combines psychotherapy and life coaching to help people regain direction when they feel stuck. Her work often addresses relationship and parenting stress, career shifts, and anger-related concerns.

She takes a warm, interactive approach in sessions. Conversations are collaborative and tailored to each person's needs. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Saundra uses a mix of practical methods to help clients make changes. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and on client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on the client's goals. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and intimacy issues are at play.

She also brings existential perspectives for people wrestling with meaning or big life transitions. Motivational interviewing-style questioning is used to help clarify values and take actionable steps. This combination aims to move people from feeling stuck toward clearer choices.

Saundra has written a book, Clarity: 7 Steps From Getting Unstuck to Taking Action, which some clients use as an additional resource. If online dating, social media stress, or ongoing communication problems are a concern, she has specific experience addressing those issues. She invites people who are ready for change to begin the work together.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them. It helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about what matters most and wants practical ways to move forward.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at recurring relationship patterns and how early connections shape current intimacy. It can be useful for people dealing with trust, closeness, or communication problems in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. Together they will consider the client's goals, history, and what feels most helpful in early sessions, then adjust the plan as needed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting sessions into busy schedules, handling parenting or work demands, and keeping momentum between visits. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and continue therapy through life transitions. Ask about current session options when you schedule so the format matches your needs and daily routine.
