Sallie Trecek, LMHC

Sallie Trecek is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing from Florida who brings a warm, practical approach to therapy. With 28 years of experience, she has worked across settings that include classroom teaching and school counseling, and she previously served as a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma for over 20 years. That varied background gives her a broad perspective when working with clients of different ages and cultural backgrounds.

Sallie helps individuals and families navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting hurdles, life changes, grief, trauma, and issues such as ADHD, depression, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also offers focused support for veterans and for multicultural concerns. Her work combines coaching and therapy techniques to help clients clarify goals, identify options, and move past feeling stuck.

Known for an eclectic clinical style, Sallie draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices among other methods, always emphasizing unconditional positive regard. She collaborates with clients to turn barriers into building blocks and supports growth that aligns with each person’s values and goals. Sallie accepts international clients and can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sallie Trecek integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness in a way that fits each client’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore values and choices and feel supported while making changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple mental practices that can reduce reactivity and help with coping during life transitions and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together - Sallie collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they face. She tailors techniques rather than prescribing a single model, and clients are invited to shape the process as it unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different life situations. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging options allow ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from wherever clients are located and to maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
