Sandra Call , LCSW

Sandra Call is an Army Combat Veteran and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 10 years of professional experience. As a veteran herself, she brings lived understanding of military life and its aftermath to her therapeutic work and aims to offer perspective that resonates with other veterans. She has worked extensively with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, and depression, helping clients navigate difficult emotions and regain stability.

Sandra approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she customizes conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual needs and goals. Her practice also attends to related concerns such as abandonment, communication challenges, control issues, relationship separation, first responder and veteran-specific issues, mood and panic disorders, and struggles with guilt, shame, or self-worth. She emphasizes practical support and collaborative planning so clients can move toward clearer purpose and healthier coping.

Sandra recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage, and she affirms clients for taking that first step. As an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker who has completed advanced clinical training and state licensure - she combines professional skills with personal experience to support recovery and growth.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Sandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to manage mood and anxiety. These cognitive-focused strategies help clients identify stressful thought patterns and develop healthier ways of responding to everyday challenges and depressive symptoms.

In addition, Sandra applies trauma-informed approaches that emphasize safety, pacing, and the development of coping skills for processing painful memories and reducing trauma-related reactions. These methods are intended to support people dealing with post-traumatic stress, abuse, loss, and other impactful life events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandra works with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, then adjusts techniques and pacing to find the best fit. This partnership helps ensure treatment feels relevant and manageable for the individual.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, access licensed professionals from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client.
