About Saundra

Saundra Green is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 16 years of clinical experience, who has expanded her work to include life coaching. She has supported people facing relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career transitions, anger, and the stress of major life changes.

Background and approach

Over time she has developed particular experience helping singles who feel discouraged by online dating and the impact of social media on relationships, and she welcomes inquiries from those navigating that terrain. Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed tools with a warm, interactive style that emphasizes respect and sensitivity.

She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques alongside acceptance-based and attachment-minded perspectives, adapting conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She also brings humanistic and existential influences to help clients explore meaning and take actionable steps forward.

Beyond clinical work, she authored a book during the pandemic titled Clarity, 7 Steps From Getting Unstuck to Taking Action, which she recommends as a supplemental resource for people feeling stuck. Those ready to pursue clearer direction or healthier relationships will find a supportive, collaborative therapist in Saundra Green.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care



Saundra often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, anger, and career or relationship problems where concrete skills can make a difference. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and accept difficult inner experiences while committing to meaningful action, a fit for those navigating life transitions or feelings of being stuck.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adapt techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, to check in between meetings, and to access therapy from different locations within California. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and format so therapy fits practical life demands while focusing on meaningful change.
