Christina Salameh, LPCC

Christina Salameh is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with four years of clinical experience. She earned a master’s degree in clinical counseling from John Carroll University. Christina takes a straightforward, warm approach that emphasizes clear goals and practical steps.

Her sessions focus on helping people who feel stuck by addressing issues like anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, trauma, and career concerns. She uses everyday language and concrete strategies so people can try tools between sessions. Christina emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's pace.

In practice she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-based and client-centered methods. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, experiment with small behavior changes, and clarify values to guide decisions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when clients want targeted steps and short-term progress.

Christina is direct but empathetic in her style. She works with clients to set realistic goals and tracks progress together. Sessions often include skill practice, goal-setting, and reflection on what’s changing.

She also supports people navigating parenting stress, adoption and foster care concerns, body image and eating struggles, caregiver strain, and life transitions. Christina frames therapy as a practical partnership aimed at increasing self-compassion, confidence, and everyday coping skills.

How Christina Combines Approaches Online

Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behavior that reduce anxiety and stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult feelings remain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina treats the choice of methods as a collaboration and will discuss options based on a person’s goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. Together they decide whether to focus on skill building, acceptance and values work, or short-term solution-focused steps.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let clients use face-to-face conversation and screen-shared worksheets, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or for brief check-ins, and messaging or live chat can support quick progress notes and interim coaching. These formats make scheduling more flexible and allow people to fit sessions into busy routines.
