About Sally
Sally Press is a California-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who chose counseling after becoming a mother. She has three years of experience and focuses on practical, person-centered care that centers the client's goals. Her style is calm and approachable, with an emphasis on helping people feel heard in session.
Sally uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. She offers straightforward tools for day-to-day coping. Sessions include time to identify immediate skills as well as steps for longer-term change.
Her sessions begin with a brief history and a discussion of what the client wants to work on. Sally prioritizes building rapport early so clients feel comfortable talking about difficult topics. She listens first, then collaborates on a plan that fits each person's life.
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, caregiver stress, blended family adjustments, body image, and feelings of isolation or purposelessness.
Sally adapts her approach for different ages and developmental stages. She emphasizes clear, realistic steps and checks progress regularly. The goal is to leave sessions with something useful to try between meetings.
How evidence-based approaches work with online therapy
Sally uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic attacks, such as breathing exercises, grounding strategies, and step-by-step exposure tasks to reduce avoidance. These are practical tools people can use between meetings to manage intense symptoms.Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns. This work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and communication, and it teaches new ways to express needs and set boundaries. It can help with abandonment worries, trust issues, and communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sally will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist check progress together and change course when needed.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to practice coping skills in real-world settings and follow up quickly between meetings.
