About Sallie

Sallie Freeman is a licensed professional counselor who works from a practical, affirming stance. She brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, relationship worries, and questions around identity. She also frames conversations around parenting and career concerns when those topics come up.

Sallie keeps sessions grounded and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients name the problem and try small changes.

Background and approach

Conversations can include skills practice, values work, or relationship tools depending on the need. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide the work. Her practice is openly supportive of LGBT clients and people wrestling with gender questions.

Sallie also helps with issues such as obsessive thoughts and compulsions, phobias, and difficulties that follow divorce or family conflict. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence when people face life transitions or end-of-life concerns. When relationships are the focus she draws on the Gottman Method and practical communication techniques.

For career and life-purpose questions she uses existential ideas to help people clarify meaning and make choices. Sallie practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. People connect through online formats that fit their schedules and comfort levels.

How Sallie Applies Therapy Online

Sallie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about meaning because it focuses on values and flexible action rather than trying to eliminate feelings.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, compulsions, phobias, and many everyday problems by teaching specific skills and gradual practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sallie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing based on what is most helpful for the client over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. These options let people work through relationship concerns, parenting questions, or identity issues from home and pick the format that feels most comfortable and convenient.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
