Sandry Esquivel is a licensed therapist in California with nine years of professional experience supporting individuals and families through difficult transitions. She holds an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and brings focused experience in relationship concerns, family conflict, anger management, and coping with addictions. Her practice also addresses blended family dynamics, communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and other life changes that can feel overwhelming.

Sandry views each person as the expert of their own story and builds on existing strengths to help overcome challenging patterns. She emphasizes practical skills and compassionate collaboration so clients can make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for them. Recognizing that seeking growth takes courage, she offers steady support and guidance aimed at increasing resilience, improving communication, and restoring a greater sense of balance and well-being.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Sandry works with adults and families to navigate relationship struggles, process addiction issues, workplace and immigration-related stressors, and end-of-life or HIV/AIDS related concerns, helping clients find clearer paths forward.

Evidence-based approaches for relationships and life transitions

Sandry uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on relationships and family systems - approaches that explore interaction patterns, improve communication, and address blended family concerns to restore healthier connections and reduce conflict. She also applies skills-based strategies for anger and coping - practical tools that help people manage strong emotions, reduce reactive patterns, and build more effective problem solving in daily life. Together these approaches support work on process addictions, self-esteem, and adjustment to major life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sandry collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions to the presenting concerns and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds, making therapy a joint effort between therapist and client.

Online therapy with Sandry is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling around work, family, and other commitments. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access ongoing support during transitions, and receive timely tools and guidance without travel.
