SE Portrait of Sandry Esquivel

Sandry Esquivel, LMFT

Supportive marriage and family therapist

About Sandry

Sandry Esquivel is a licensed marriage and family therapist who has practiced in California for nine years. She centers her work on helping people manage relationship struggles, family conflict, anger, and major life changes.

Background and approach

Sandry speaks English and Spanish and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions. She helps people with low self-esteem and with problems that come up in blended families.

She also supports those dealing with communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, and workplace stress. Sandry has experience addressing process addictions such as gambling and problematic porn use, and she offers guidance for people navigating HIV/AIDS, immigration concerns, hospice and end-of-life decisions, and women’s issues.

Sandry believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She uses that perspective to build on each person’s strengths.

Sessions focus on clear steps people can take between meetings and on learning skills for handling conflict and stress. Her style is supportive and direct.

She helps people name patterns that cause pain and practices new ways of responding. Conversations are meant to feel practical and goal-oriented, not overwhelming.

Sandry offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She works with a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to availability.

Therapeutic techniques and online sessions that fit your life

Sandry uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how people handle relationships and stress. She helps clients learn skills to improve communication and manage anger so disagreements become easier to navigate. She also works on building self-worth and coping strategies that help during life changes and when facing grief or serious health concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandry listens to your goals and your experience, then suggests techniques that match what you want to achieve. You and she decide together which steps to try and adjust them as you go.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between appointments, do shorter check-ins, or fit therapy around work and family demands. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills between sessions.
