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. Sandie also works with concerns tied to family of origin issues and attachment. She offers sessions in English and works from a clinical background that began in education.
Before clinical practice, Sandie spent nine years as a special education teacher. That classroom experience shaped how she adapts strategies for people with different learning styles and developmental needs. She holds a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies and a master’s degree in social work from Texas State University.
Sandie completed internships in a hospital setting where she provided cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy components, and psychoeducation in intensive outpatient groups. She also worked with adults on the autism spectrum to build self-advocacy skills. Those roles included group and individual work with people facing anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
For the past 3.5 years she has provided individual outpatient services and school-based support for K-12 students. She is rostered with the Hackett Center for Trauma and Grief in Adolescents, which involves work with youth aged 12-20 around trauma and grief. Sandie’s background blends classroom practice with clinical work.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills, clearer communication, and managing day-to-day challenges that trace back to family patterns. Parents who notice recurring roles, expectations, or conflict passed down from childhood may find her approach straightforward and skill-oriented.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Sandie draws on cognitive behavioral approaches that help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related challenges through concrete strategies and behavioral practice.She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy, such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques. These skills can help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and improving communication in relationships influenced by family patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review a client's goals, history, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit those needs. The client and therapist decide collaboratively whether to try skill-focused exercises, structured cognitive work, or a mix of methods.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for more flexible scheduling. Different formats can also suit different needs - for example, shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break, while longer sessions allow for deeper skill practice. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
