About Reynie

Reynie Sandoval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 25 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. He also focuses on life purpose, caregiver stress, communication problems, addiction, fatherhood issues, and related concerns.

Reynie emphasizes practical skills alongside deeper work. He often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness approaches when they fit the situation.

In sessions he mixes skill teaching with close listening. Some visits focus on concrete strategies for managing anxiety or impulsivity. Other sessions look at family of origin patterns, guilt, shame, or barriers to finding purpose after a life change.

He commonly helps people dealing with divorce and separation, control issues, isolation, and problems tied to substance use. He also supports men working through identity and fatherhood concerns, and people navigating forgiveness or relationship repairs.

Reynie describes therapy as a collaborative effort. He helps people set practical goals, experiment with new behaviors, and notice what feels meaningful. If you want to explore life purpose or get unstuck after a change, he offers steady clinical experience and a clear emphasis on usable tools and real-world progress.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that reflect personal values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often applied when trauma or strong reactions interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative plan can shift over time based on what helps most in practice.

Confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or allow a quieter check-in during a work break. They also let people keep continuity of care if relocation or changing schedules would otherwise interrupt it. Licensed professionals typically adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR techniques for remote use so clients can practice skills, complete exposure tasks, or process memories with guided techniques during sessions.
