Sandra Call

Sandra Call is a Tennessee-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 10 years of professional experience. She is an Army Combat Veteran and brings that background into her work with people who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression.

Sandra focuses on practical support. She helps people talk through symptoms, manage difficult feelings, and handle day-to-day challenges. She also addresses issues like abandonment, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and impulsivity.

Her work includes support for first responders and veterans and armed forces issues. She notices patterns of isolation, guilt and shame, and trouble with self-love, and works with clients to name and change those patterns. Life purpose and feelings of being stuck are also areas she addresses in sessions.

Sandra adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation. Sessions look at what is happening now and which skills will help most in ordinary life. She encourages straightforward steps people can try between meetings to practice new ways of coping.

For someone unsure what comes next, Sandra offers direct, experience-informed guidance. She asks clear questions, listens to practical concerns, and helps map small changes that can reduce overwhelm and build momentum toward clearer decisions.

Evidence-based techniques for life decisions and mood

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. For example, cognitive methods look at patterns of thought and help people test and change unhelpful beliefs that feed anxiety or depression. These techniques are useful when worries, panic, or low mood interfere with daily choices.

Another common approach uses trauma-focused methods that help people process distressing events and reduce their influence on current behavior. These methods can be helpful for people coping with abuse, combat-related stress, or post-traumatic stress symptoms by addressing triggers and learning coping responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sandra will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She explains options, checks in on what helps, and adjusts the plan as therapy proceeds.

Confirm the session formats before booking. When scheduling, ask which formats are currently offered and how they fit your routine. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while phone options can work when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited.
