About Sallie

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes turning current barriers into practical building blocks for change. With 28 years of clinical experience, Sallie uses a blend of conversational, evidence-informed methods to support clients through life transitions and coaching toward clearer goals.

Licensed as an LMHC and practicing in Florida, Sallie accepts international clients and works in English. Her background across different educational and clinical settings contributes to a flexible, culturally aware practice that aims to meet people where they are and help them create more satisfying patterns in life.

Integrating practical approaches into online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional positive regard, creating space for clients to explore values and clarify what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and supported as they consider changes in relationships, parenting, or life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT techniques can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and many day-to-day challenges by building concrete skills and experiments to test new ways of coping.

Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and practical needs, adjusting therapeutic tools over time so care fits the client's changing circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, use brief check-ins when needed, and continue therapeutic momentum across transitions and busy lives.
