About Trinity

Trinity Salazar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps parents and caregivers navigate family stress, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She offers straightforward, compassionate support for everyday problems like sleep issues, anger, and struggling self-esteem. Trinity works with children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy settings.

Her tone is direct and warm, aiming to make therapy feel doable for busy families. She uses practical, evidence-based methods that focus on skills families can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Sessions often include strategies from trauma-focused cognitive behavioral work and family-centered techniques. Trinity adapts her approach to each person's age and needs so families can apply changes at home. She emphasizes clear communication and honest reflection in sessions.

Trinity has about eight years of professional experience working in schools, in homes, and in outpatient settings. She has supported people facing complex trauma, panic and obsessive-compulsive concerns, depression, and relational tension. Her background includes roles with military support programs and veteran services, which shaped her understanding of stress under high pressure.

She holds a master’s degree in social work from Fayetteville State University and a bachelor’s degree in political science from North Carolina State University. Trinity is enrolled in the Doctor of Clinical Social Work program at The University of Pennsylvania and completed Columbia University's Pedagogy Institute for Teaching Social Work. These training experiences inform how she structures sessions and supports families.

In sessions Trinity aims to meet each family where they are. She creates space for honest conversation, practical problem solving, and gradual change that fits daily life.

Evidence-based methods and online care for families

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral techniques combine trauma-informed understanding with practical skill building. These methods help people name distressing thoughts, practice new coping skills, and gradually reduce trauma-related reactions. They are often used for complex trauma, panic, and anxiety concerns.

Family-centered therapy centers conversations on how family members interact and solve problems together. It helps parents and children improve communication, set consistent routines, and address blended family or caregiver stress. This approach suits families working on behavior, boundaries, and connection at home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Trinity collaborates with each family to choose methods that match goals, ages, and daily life. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps and what feels manageable for busy caregivers.

Online therapy offers flexibility for families juggling schedules. Video calls let therapists observe interactions and coach parents in real time, while phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide shorter-check in options between sessions. These formats can make attending sessions easier for caregivers and children who need adaptable scheduling.
