About Sandie
Sandie Hinton-Owens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She works with people who are neurodivergent and with those experiencing trauma and grief.
Before becoming an LCSW, Sandie spent nine years as a special education teacher. That classroom experience shaped how she adapts explanations and breaks skills into manageable steps. She has a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies and a master’s degree in social work from Texas State University, and she completed hospital-based internships where she ran group work and psycho-education.
Sandie has worked in outpatient settings for about 3.5 years and has provided school-based services for K-12 students. Her background includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. She is also rostered with the Hackett Center for Trauma and Grief in Adolescents to provide trauma and grief support for youths aged 12 to 20.
In sessions she is direct and practical. She helps people name what is happening, learn concrete strategies, and practice new ways of coping. She pays attention to communication differences and learning styles, and she adjusts how she explains skills to fit those differences.
People who struggle with feeling isolated, overwhelmed by change, or stuck in patterns like codependency or guilt may find her approach useful. She encourages steady steps and clear skills work rather than long, abstract conversations. Her Texas base means appointments follow state practice standards and are conducted in English.
Approaches used and how online work can help
Sandie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building. One common approach she uses teaches step-by-step coping skills for managing anxiety and stress, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice alternative responses. Another approach involves structured behavioral and social skills practice to support people with ADHD or autism in day-to-day tasks and communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to identify immediate goals and try methods that fit the person's learning style and needs. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or for visual work when practicing communication skills. The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Sandie aims to match practical approaches with daily life demands so skills learned in sessions can be used between appointments.
