Is this behavior a sensory disorder?

by Angela
(Florida)

My 6 y/o is beautiful smart little one, but when it comes to clothes is a real challenge, today I noticed that all her polo shirts from school were ripped off on the sleeves, she can not tolerate shirts with sleeves, socks, and she beg me to put her tennis shoes without socks.

She will never wear jeans and all shorts or skirts bother her even when they are big on her, she will complain that the clothing is too "tight" and she will say "I can't helped"... it's frustrating and I am extremely worried, she will fight the seat belt in the car, many times I have to stop the car and rearrange it because she cant' stand it (dangerous), she will not seat on the cushion chairs, instead she will just lifted and seat in the solid wood.

I am not sure what to do, I know that I am not reacting well and I fight with her constantly. I set up an appointment with a Psychotherapist but I’m not sure if this is the right approach. Is this behavior a sensory disorder?

Thanks for any help or advice.
