Reynie Sandoval, LCSW

Reynie Sandoval is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience providing mental health support. He focuses on helping people build long-term wellbeing and greater life satisfaction through practical skills and steady, compassionate care. Reynie aims to understand each person's situation before shaping a plan that fits their needs.

His style is warm and accepting. He often teaches skills for handling stress and anxiety, and he also spends time listening so people feel heard. Reynie uses approaches that help with everyday problems as well as deeper issues that affect functioning.

Reynie works with common concerns like depression, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and ADHD. He also helps with caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, addiction, family of origin struggles, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Men’s issues, fatherhood concerns, guilt, shame, impulsivity, and intellectual disability are also within his focus areas.

Clinically, he draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, eye movement methods, mindfulness, client-centered listening, and motivational interviewing techniques. He mixes these tools to match what a person needs in the moment. Sometimes that means learning a coping skill and sometimes it means talking through painful memories.

Reynie lives and practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English. Outside work he spends time with family, makes music, and follows sports.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small, practical steps to reduce suffering and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and reflects to help a person find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Reynie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That may mean trying a skill-based exercise one week and using acceptance or processing work the next. The plan evolves based on progress and preference.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful when visual connection and direct skill coaching matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or people who want to write through thoughts between sessions.
