About Reynie
Reynie Sandoval is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people pursue greater life satisfaction. He approaches therapy with warmth, acceptance, and compassion, aiming to understand each person and what they need. Reynie focuses on practical steps people can use day to day while also addressing deeper issues that affect functioning.
He primarily uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values-based action and simple skills for coping with distress. He also blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients notice patterns and make lasting changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of his toolkit for trauma-related concerns when appropriate.
Sessions mix skill teaching with attentive listening. Some days the work is learning a new skill. Other days it is having space to be heard and make sense of feelings. Reynie aims to help people accept difficult emotions, reduce avoidant behavior, and take steps that match their values.
Reynie has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, and ADHD. He also addresses caregiver stress, communication and control problems, separation and divorce, addiction concerns, family of origin issues, fatherhood topics, guilt and shame, impulsivity, intellectual disability, isolation, life purpose questions, and men's issues.
He practices in Utah and offers therapy in English. Reynie enjoys music, sports, and time with loved ones, and brings that grounded, human perspective into his clinical work.

How Reynie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Reynie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values. ACT focuses on building useful habits and accepting difficult feelings so they interfere less with daily life.
He also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change but feel stuck. That approach centers on listening, reflecting, and helping clients find their own reasons to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that often lead to quicker practical relief.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Reynie works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals and preferences. He checks in about what helps, adjusts techniques over time, and balances skill teaching with time to process emotions.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skill practice between meetings. A conversation about goals and logistics helps make online therapy fit everyday life. -
