About Sandie
Sandie Hinton-Owens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas. She draws on a background in education and clinical social work to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and major life changes. Sandie aims to build trusting relationships that make it easier to talk about hard things and try new ways of coping.
She spent nine years as a special education teacher, which shaped how she adapts strategies to fit each person’s needs.
How Sandie works
Sandie also completed a master’s degree in social work at Texas State University and did internships in a hospital setting. Those placements included work in intensive outpatient groups and teaching self-advocacy skills to adults on the autism spectrum. For about 3.5 years she provided individual outpatient services and also offered school-based supports for K-12 settings.
Her experience includes supporting people who face trauma and grief, and she is rostered with the Hackett Center for Trauma and Grief in Adolescents for grief work with 12- to 20-year-olds. Sandie has worked with a range of concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and family of origin problems. Her sessions emphasize practical skills and clear options.
People can expect calm, straightforward guidance and tools they can try between meetings. Sandie tailors approaches to fit each person’s strengths and daily life. She practices in Texas and conducts therapy in English.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Sandie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on skill building for managing anxiety and mood - practical exercises teach ways to notice thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and practice new behaviors that reduce distress over time. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care and grief support, offering step-by-step coping strategies to handle painful memories and strong emotions without becoming overwhelmed.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sandie works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adapts techniques to match their needs. She explains options in plain language and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine and reduce travel time. It also lets people choose session styles that suit their day - for example, shorter check-ins when time is tight or longer meetings when more processing is needed. Because the original biography does not specify exact session formats, confirm current session options before booking so you know what will work for your schedule.
