Saundra Green , LMFT

Saundra Green is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with more than 16 years of experience as a psychotherapist and, more recently, as a practitioner who integrates life coaching into her work. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, and career transitions, and she has developed a particular interest in helping singles discouraged by online dating and the impact of social media on relationships.

Saundra authored a book early in the pandemic titled Clarity, 7 Steps From Getting Unstuck to Taking Action, which she cites as a resource for clients seeking greater direction and momentum. Her therapeutic style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she avoids stigmatizing labels. She blends cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive methods to create treatment plans tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Saundra’s areas of specialty include family work, intimacy-related issues, career concerns, coping with life changes, coaching, parenting, and anger, with additional focus on abandonment, antisocial personality, communication problems, fatherhood issues, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, women’s issues, and young adult matters. Throughout her practice she emphasizes collaboration, practical strategies, and helping clients move from feeling stuck toward actionable change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

The practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action; ACT can be helpful for anxiety, avoidance, and transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in close relationships and to strengthen emotional bonds and communication, useful for intimacy concerns, parenting issues, and relational trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured techniques and problem-solving, often benefiting anxiety, anger, and career-related stress.

Finding the right approach is often part of the therapeutic journey, and Saundra works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. She adapts strategies over time to ensure the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats allow therapists and clients to work together consistently across distances, making it easier to maintain momentum and apply therapeutic skills in day-to-day life.
