About Sallie
Sallie Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience working with adults. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, addresses relationship and parenting concerns, and supports LGBT clients navigating identity and related issues. Sallie also works with career questions and a range of other life stresses.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is part of her work when people want to notice stressful thoughts without getting stuck in them.
Sallie also draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions grounded in what the person brings each week. For couples or partners she uses elements of the Gottman Method to look at communication patterns and rebuild trust and connection.
She regularly helps people untangle family of origin issues and family problems that continue to affect current relationships. She also supports clients facing divorce and separation, infidelity, and decisions around non-monogamous partnerships.
Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable goals. Sallie works with people who are sorting out values, life purpose, phobias, OCD symptoms, grief near end-of-life, or the stress of prejudice and discrimination. She conducts sessions in English and practices from Texas.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Sallie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that align with personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, stress, and questions about identity.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice concrete skills that change behavior. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, OCD symptoms, phobias, and social anxiety.
Deciding on the best approach is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback about what feels most useful and practical.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between obligations, or letting someone choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication skills training, and exposure tasks for remote work so progress can continue when in-person meetings are not possible.
