About Cecelia

Cecelia Salamone is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience in Michigan. She uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Her manner is calm and direct, focused on clear steps a person can try between sessions.

She often brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, into sessions to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and many everyday stresses.

Background and approach

Cecelia adapts tools to each person rather than using one fixed plan. Her work addresses intimacy issues, parenting concerns, communication problems, and life transitions. She also has experience with caregiver stress, blended family issues, chronic illness and pain, and challenges that come with aging.

These topics are explored in straightforward conversations that lead to practical next steps. Cecelia helps people build better communication, manage difficult feelings like anger or shame, and repair relationship patterns when possible. She also supports those coping with career pressures, grief after loss, and questions around identity and LGBT concerns.

Sessions aim to leave clients with clearer choices and small, manageable goals. Her practice includes a focus on real-life application. People leave sessions with tools for handling conflict, pushback against worry, and skills to make daily life a little easier.

The tone is collaborative, respectful, and focused on moving forward.

Practical therapeutic tools delivered online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a core method used in her online work. It focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then building different habits. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving around relationships.

Sessions are collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so it meets real-life needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. These options let people connect from home, handle short check-ins by message, or use calls for deeper conversations. The focus is on practical accessibility and flexible ways to use therapeutic skills in day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
