About Reynie
Reynie Sandoval is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. He builds a calm, accepting space where people can talk about what matters and learn practical skills to move forward.
He mainly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. That work often includes simple exercises to identify personal values and small steps that match those values.
Background and approach
Reynie also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when those approaches fit the situation. Sessions mix skill teaching and attentive listening. Some meetings focus on coping tools for day-to-day struggles.
Other sessions go deeper into old patterns, family of origin issues, or trauma that keeps people feeling stuck. He pays attention to how guilt, shame, impulse control, and addiction concerns play out in everyday life. Reynie supports people dealing with relationship strain, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and the challenges of caregiving.
He also helps those coping with isolation, low self-esteem, and searches for life purpose. His style is straightforward and compassionate, aiming to make progress feel doable. He practices in Utah and works in English.
Outside of therapy he enjoys music, sports, and spending time with loved ones. Prospective clients are invited to connect to see if his way of working matches their needs.
Approaches that work well online and in conversation
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes simple exercises to clarify what matters to you and then small, practical steps to live by those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-informed method used to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their impact on daily life.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions work when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, homework, and shorter reflections between sessions, making it easier to use skills in day-to-day life.
