About Saundra
Saundra Green is a licensed marriage and family therapist (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in California with 16 years of experience. She blends psychotherapy with life coaching to help people get unstuck and move toward clearer goals.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and interactive, and she treats people with respect and compassion. She works with a wide range of concerns, including family stress, intimacy-related issues, career transitions, parenting questions, anger, and coping with life changes.
She also helps people facing multicultural pressures, prejudice, and discrimination. Young adults and people dealing with fatherhood, abandonment, or communication problems are among the focus areas she addresses.
Saundra uses several practical approaches in session. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and existential perspectives help clients clarify values and purpose when life feels uncertain.
She is the author of a book called Clarity, 7 Steps From Getting Unstuck to Taking Action, written early in the pandemic as a resource for people needing direction. In addition to therapy, she integrates coaching methods for people who want concrete steps and accountability.
Saundra aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps, honest conversation, and practical strategies that fit everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for feeling stuck, coping with life changes, and moving past avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and communicating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage worry, anger, or career-related stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style prompts and short reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try formats that match a person’s routine and comfort.
