About Sallie

Sallie Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience based in Texas. She focuses on everyday worries and thought patterns that get in the way of daily life, including anxiety, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and relationship questions. Sallie presents an affirming approach toward LGBT clients and people exploring gender or sexual identity.

In session she listens without judgment and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. The work often includes straightforward skills to manage anxiety and obsessive thinking, and practical conversations about relationships and parenting. Sallie also supports people facing life transitions such as divorce, career shifts, or end-of-life planning.

Her methods draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening to help people clarify values and take small, manageable steps. She weaves existential questions into therapy when people are weighing life purpose or deeper meaning.

Sallie also uses relationship-focused tools when couples or partners want to improve communication and repair trust. She can address topics like infidelity, non-monogamous relationship arrangements, and dynamics that come from family of origin patterns.

Sessions are conducted in English and are provided from her Texas practice. People interested in starting can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches can guide online work

Sallie frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to address anxious thinking and unhelpful habits. ACT helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values, while CBT targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce distress and repetitive rituals.

She also brings a client-centered stance that prioritizes listening and collaboration. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and preferences. Deciding what methods to try is a joint process and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions, including guided behavioral experiments, values-based planning, and thought records that practice new habits between meetings.
