Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, my name is Chris Sandwell, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Nationally Certified Counselor and a Clinical Certified Trauma Profession. Exposure to diverse individuals is instrumental in shaping my worldview and values. My awareness and appreciation of individual’s journeys continues to grow. I feel strongly about helping people who don’t have a voice or haven’t found their voice. I am an advocate, and this role allows me to help as many people as I can.
As a LPC in Missouri. I have been providing clinical services throughout my career for youth to the more seasoned individual. I have also provided clinical supervision for other counselors to obtain professional licensure. For over 20 years, I have worked with individuals who come with concerns like fitting in, anxiety, stress management, life challenges, aging issues, parenting and/or relationship issues and thoughts of suicide. Working through challenges provides a great opportunity for professional growth.
The therapy I provide can be client centered, with elements of solution focused. The work is individualized and highly participatory. Together we will discuss your concerns, set priorities and work towards accomplishing your goals. I believe that individuals need to be in an environment where they feel safe, accepted, and not judged and this is what I provide.
Whether you choose to work with me or someone else, congratulations on taking the first step.

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and clinical experience indicate that these issues often respond well to remote care when conducted by trained professionals.
One major benefit is flexibility – individuals can connect in the way that suits them best, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to choose a communication style that feels comfortable.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, practical option for getting consistent support and working toward personal goals.
