About Sallie

Sallie Freeman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with a decade of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and parenting challenges, and explore issues related to identity and sexuality.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes practical strategies and thoughtful exploration to address problems such as obsessions and compulsions, phobias, hoarding, infidelity, and concerns that arise during divorce or end-of-life care. Her work blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered listening.

This combination supports clients who want structured tools to reduce distress as well as those seeking guided reflection on meaning and values. She also uses the Gottman Method when couples want evidence-informed communication and conflict work.

Sallie aims to offer an affirming, inclusive environment for LGBT clients and others navigating prejudice, gender dysphoria, or questions about sexual and relational diversity. Sessions address career stress, life purpose, social anxiety, and women’s issues alongside family of origin dynamics and polyamory or non-monogamous relationship concerns.

Sallie accepts English-speaking clients in Texas and brings practical, compassionate support for both immediate symptom relief and longer-term personal growth.

How evidence-based approaches blend with online care

Clients can expect Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to be woven into online sessions as needed. CBT offers concrete, skills-based work to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, and social anxiety. ACT emphasizes values, mindful acceptance, and committed action to reduce the struggle with painful thoughts and help people move toward meaningful goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals and preferences, testing practical strategies and shifting emphasis over time so methods reflect the client’s needs rather than a fixed plan. This partnership helps clients find a balance between symptom-focused techniques and deeper exploration of values and life direction.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow work to continue around work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic limits within Texas, and they support a range of therapeutic activities from skills practice to reflective conversation.
