Joelle Alexis Sando
Counseling and Wellness Services

I am a dedicated mental health professional serving individuals, couples, and families throughout the Las Vegas area, offering both in-person therapy and virtual teletherapy sessions to accommodate the diverse needs of this vibrant community. I earned my first master’s degree in Human Resources Administration from the University of Scranton, and later returned to complete a second master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Marywood University.

My career path has allowed me to work across a wide spectrum of therapeutic environments, giving me a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face at different stages of life. I began my journey as a Behavioral Specialist Consultant supporting children and families in the foster care system. I later taught Psychology and Counseling at the college level, worked as a Mental Health Clinician in a correctional facility, and spent years providing community-based counseling to adults struggling with a range of mental health concerns. These experiences, paired with more than two decades of real-world clinical work, shape a practice that combines evidence-based treatment with genuine compassion.

In my Las Vegas counseling practice, I specialize in supporting clients through life’s most difficult transitions, whether you are navigating relationship strain, family conflict, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, psychosis, or overwhelming stress. I also work closely with individuals experiencing suicidal ideation and mood disorders. I understand how isolating these challenges can feel, and I believe deeply in the power of therapy that not only listens, but truly transforms.

My approach is grounded in empathy, humor, validation, and a deep respect for every client’s lived experience. I integrate evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help individuals, couples, and families rebuild connection, strengthen communication, and heal patterns rooted in past experiences. Whether we meet in person in Las Vegas or through secure online therapy, you are the priority in every session, your goals, your healing, and your growth.

My counseling and wellness services:

Individual Therapy Tailored to Your Needs

I integrate evidence-based approaches to support your emotional, relational, and professional well-being.

Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a safe, nonjudgmental space, helping you gain clarity and uncover what’s holding you back.

Individual therapy can also complement couples therapy, family therapy, or medication management, supporting whole-person healing and sustainable change. Growth is absolutely possible—and it begins with one meaningful conversation. I’m here to guide you every step of the way toward a more grounded, balanced, and fulfilling life.

Couples counseling with Open dialogue and guided insight

I help couples strengthen their bond, resolve conflicts, and rebuild trust using evidence-based approaches tailored to your relationship.

Couples therapy offers a safe, supportive space to improve communication, heal past hurt, and navigate major life transitions—from betrayal and intimacy concerns to blended family challenges, premarital preparation, and ongoing stress.

No matter where you are in your relationship, couples counseling provides the tools to reconnect and move forward as a united team. I’m here to support you both in creating the secure, resilient relationship you deserve. 

Virtual, Secure, and safe counseling from anywhere

Virtual therapy has become the new normal in mental health care, and it’s just as effective as in-person sessions. Through secure, convenient teletherapy, individuals, couples, and families can access high-quality support from anywhere in Nevada without the stress of travel, scheduling barriers, or time constraints.

My HIPAA-compliant platforms ensure your information remains confidential. Create your ideal therapeutic environment. Enjoy the comfort of familiar surroundings, which can help reduce anxiety and create a more relaxed atmosphere for effective therapy. Save on travel expenses, eliminate the need for childcare during appointments, and reduce time away from work or other responsibilities. Find appointment times that work with your schedule without worrying about commute times or traffic. Maintain your treatment schedule even during travel, illness, or other circumstances that may otherwise cause you to miss in-person appointments.

Family Therapy, where we work as a unit to break cycles and learn healthy patterns

I help families strengthen communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild trust through evidence-based, collaborative approaches.

Family therapy provides a safe space for every member to be heard while addressing challenges such as parent–teen conflict, co-parenting issues, blended family dynamics, and stress from major life transitions. You’ll gain practical tools to restore balance, increase mutual understanding, and create a more supportive home environment where each person feels valued.

Whether your family is struggling with ongoing tension or simply wants to enhance connection, family counseling can help you build long-term harmony and deeper, more resilient relationships.
