About Cecelia

Cecelia Salamone is an LPC in Michigan who draws on 25 years of clinical experience to provide focused, practical care informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Background and approach

She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, and self-esteem challenges, helping them recognize thought patterns and develop skills that reduce distress and build resilience. Her practice integrates skill-building with empathic listening to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term coping strategies.

Her approach also extends to a broad range of life concerns such as intimacy-related issues, parenting and fatherhood questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication and commitment problems, and the emotional effects of major life transitions. Cecelia emphasizes clearer communication, increased self-understanding, and actionable plans so clients can move forward from trauma, loss, or ongoing stress.

She offers in-person and remote session formats to accommodate different needs, and she tailors the therapy process to each person’s goals and circumstances.

CBT-Informed Care and Online Access

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and relationship difficulties by teaching practical skills like cognitive reframing and behavioral experiments.

In practice, this therapist combines CBT techniques with empathic collaboration to tailor interventions to each person's situation. The therapist will work together with the client to clarify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful and feasible for the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health needs. These formats make it possible to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and adapt scheduling to daily life while working with a licensed professional who supports the therapeutic process.
