About Sallie
Sallie Trecek greets people with warmth and straightforward support. She encourages those feeling stuck to take small steps toward change. Sallie listens and helps sort through what matters most.
She aims to turn current barriers into useful steps forward. Sallie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with 28 years of experience. Much of her earlier work includes roles as a teacher and a school counselor.
That varied background shaped how she approaches concerns across different cultural and life contexts.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversations. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people navigating parenting challenges, relationship concerns, intimacy issues, ADHD, and major life transitions.
Her methods combine client-centered principles with cognitive and mindfulness tools. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and measure progress. The work is collaborative: she listens, reflects, and helps people identify options that fit their lives.
People can expect an empathetic, no-nonsense approach that emphasizes personal strengths. Sallie’s practice includes attention to multicultural concerns and veteran and armed forces issues. She offers sessions from Florida and meets with people online and by phone when that suits their schedule.
Approaches that fit your schedule
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers. It’s useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings and clarify choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build better coping habits for anxiety, depression, or stress.
Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept up in them. This approach can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation during stressful times.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made along the way so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is close to an in-person meeting and works well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging help keep momentum between meetings or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options let people fit therapy around work, family, and travel without losing continuity of care.
