About Sallie
Sallie Trecek is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 28 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life changes. Sallie also notes experience with trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and multicultural and veteran-related issues.
Sallie uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. She listens closely, asks practical questions, and helps people sort through what feels stuck. Conversations focus on identifying choices and clarifying next steps rather than on jargon. The aim is to move from feeling blocked to having a clearer plan for daily life.
Her approach draws on several methods so she can match techniques to a person’s situation. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used when slowing down and noticing patterns helps reduce reactivity. Solution-focused techniques are used to set concrete, short-term goals and track progress.
People who come to Sallie for anger concerns often want practical ways to manage reactions at home or work. She helps break down triggers and builds simple tools for handling tense moments. Sessions involve talking through recent incidents, experimenting with new responses, and practicing skills between meetings.
Sallie’s background also includes time as a teacher and school counselor. That mix of roles contributes to a broad perspective on family dynamics and life-stage questions. Her work is aimed at clear, usable change rather than lengthy theory.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that feed anger or anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. That way the work stays practical and focused on the next steps the client wants to take.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten commute time, or allow brief check-ins during a break. It also lets a therapist assign and review CBT exercises, guide mindfulness practices in real time, and track progress toward solution-focused goals without requiring travel.
