Reynie Sandoval, LCSW

Reynie Sandoval is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people regain balance during difficult seasons. He focuses on practical change and on understanding what matters most to each person. His style is warm, accepting, and direct, aimed at helping people feel heard while they learn new ways to cope.

Reynie primarily uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, teaching skills to handle daily stress while also looking at deeper life patterns. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when those approaches fit a person’s needs. Sessions can include skill practice, gentle reflection, or focused processing depending on what is helpful at the time.

Clients come with worries such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship stress. Reynie also works on caregiver strain, fatherhood concerns, substance-related issues, and questions about life purpose. He aims to help people make values-based decisions and rebuild routines that support steadier mood and clearer thinking.

He brings a patient listening stance alongside direct guidance when needed. That might mean learning mindfulness exercises, challenging unhelpful thinking, or processing past trauma with EMDR techniques. Reynie balances practical tools with attention to each person’s story.

Based in Utah, Reynie conducts therapy in English. He encourages prospective clients to consider goals and what practical changes they want to make before booking. To begin, people typically complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Reynie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different thoughts and actions to change mood and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Reynie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. That collaborative conversation guides whether the focus is skills practice, values work, or targeted behavioral change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and reduce travel time. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face connection, while others prefer audio for lower bandwidth or a quicker appointment. Discussing practical needs during the first scheduling steps helps match format to everyday life.
