About Magalis
Magalis Sandoval is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and draws on 14 years of clinical experience to support practical change. Parents and individuals often seek her out for help with sleep, eating, grief, or coping with life transitions.
She began working in human services in 2006, supporting at-risk youth and survivors of domestic violence.
Background and approach
In 2007 she moved into residential substance use care and has spent years helping people make positive changes in their lives. That background informs a straightforward approach to recovery and relapse prevention. Her work focuses on the link between thinking and behavior.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Mindfulness exercises are used to reduce reactivity and build calmer habits. Sessions also draw on client-centered listening and solution-focused planning to set small, achievable goals.
Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about change. She also has experience with anger management strategies and practical tools for coping with trauma symptoms. Magalis practices in Florida as an LCSW and adapts methods to fit each person's needs.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, with room for pacing that suits each person.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and making the session about the person's priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks about what matters most, and helps set clear goals that fit the person's life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change outcomes. Online CBT often uses short exercises, worksheets, and real-time coaching to practice new skills between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then tailor techniques from CBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing as needed. This is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is well suited for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer short, focused check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options help maintain continuity and flexibility while working toward practical goals.
