Sallie Freeman, LPC

Sallie Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce worry and get unstuck. Her work covers stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, LGBT identity, parenting concerns, and career questions.

She offers a direct, down-to-earth style in sessions. Sallie listens first and helps people name what matters most to them. Then she breaks large problems into manageable tasks and experiments clients can try between sessions.

Sallie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She also draws on acceptance and commitment approaches to clarify values and build willingness to act on them. Client-centered methods shape how she relates in the room, keeping the client's perspective central.

Her experience includes work with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, grief and end-of-life concerns, relationship problems such as infidelity, and identity questions including gender dysphoria. She also supports people dealing with phobias, hoarding, and social anxiety.

People who do best with her tend to want clear goals and practical strategies. She will collaborate on tools, homework, and measurable steps. Sessions are offered in English and blend skills practice with honest conversation.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include worksheets, behavior experiments, and clear action steps to practice between meetings, which can help with anxiety, OCD symptoms, and phobias.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take actions that align with those values even when uncomfortable feelings appear. In a virtual setting this often means learning acceptance skills, mindful noticing, and value-driven homework that fits into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sallie will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, ACT, or client-centered conversation fits best for their goals. That decision is based on the client's needs, preferences, and what seems to produce useful change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or travel.
