Cecelia Salamone, LPC

Cecelia Salamone uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress and emotional pain. She is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience in Michigan and focuses on clear, manageable steps clients can use day to day.

Cecelia helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and issues around intimacy. She also supports those coping with major life changes, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and cancer-related challenges. Her approach addresses both immediate problems and longer term patterns that cause repeat distress.

In sessions she emphasizes learning skills and trying small changes between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a central part of her work and is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting. Clients practice concrete strategies for managing worry, improving mood, and responding differently in difficult situations.

Cecelia combines problem-solving with attentive listening. She helps people strengthen communication, set boundaries, and rebuild confidence after loss or betrayal. The goal is to create workable plans that fit each person’s life and responsibilities.

People looking for help with parenting strain, blended family concerns, or aging and geriatric issues will find focused support for those challenges. Sessions also address career stress, eating and food-related concerns, codependency, and forgiveness work.

How CBT and online sessions fit your life

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It teaches practical tools to reduce worry, ease low mood, and handle relationship tensions by changing what you do and think in everyday moments.

Alongside CBT, sessions include straightforward problem-solving and communication practice. Those approaches help with caregiving stress, chronic illness concerns, grief, and decision making by breaking big problems into manageable steps and rehearsing new responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cecelia will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting pace and techniques as needed so the work feels useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let you use visual cues for skills practice, phone sessions can fit a short break, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reminders and brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or health appointments.
