About Salena
Salena has developed particular expertise with LGBTQ matters and gender dysphoria, and she has significant experience collaborating with military veterans and first responders. Her practice is informed by an affirming, non-judgmental stance that respects each person's identity and lived experience. She draws on evidence-based methods to help clients increase self-understanding, build coping skills, and develop practical strategies for everyday life.
Salena integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered techniques to tailor care to individual needs. As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - she applies training and clinical judgment to support recovery, resilience, and personal growth within a therapeutic relationship.
Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new skills to change emotions and behaviors, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and many forms of addictive behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, making it a strong option for intense emotional reactions and interpersonal difficulties.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Salena works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so the work aligns with each person's priorities and pace.
Online therapy modalities such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and continue therapeutic work from different locations, allowing consistent progress even when in-person meetings are not possible.
