About Sally
Sally Sierra is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and parenting concerns. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related questions. Sally works to make the first steps feel manageable and practical for a worried parent reading on a phone.
Sally uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new routines.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and act on those values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to improve emotion regulation when strong feelings get in the way. Her background includes seven years of clinical practice and licensure as an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
She holds licensure in Florida under FL LCSW SW18724 and is also licensed in New Mexico as NM LCSW SWB-2024-1254. Those credentials guide her ethical and clinical work. Sally aims to make therapy collaborative and practical.
Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than long lectures. She helps parents and adults find clearer communication habits and coping strategies that fit daily life. Clients can expect a calm, direct style that blends practical skill-building with attention to feelings.
The work typically moves at the client’s pace, covering topics like parenting stress, life transitions, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue as needed.
How Sally blends therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their values and take small actions that match those values. It can be helpful when life changes or difficult feelings make decisions feel hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing daily habits that cause stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills support people who feel overwhelmed by strong reactions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sally will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life context to decide which methods to use. The process is collaborative and may mix techniques so the plan fits the client’s needs. Online therapy provides flexibility for busy parents and adults. Video sessions let people meet face to face from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer shorter or more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule and to keep progress moving between longer appointments.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.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
