About Salina
Salina Mecham is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with six years of clinical experience. She practices in Utah and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, and blended family issues. Sessions are offered in English.
Salina began her career in group homes and then worked in a behavioral health hospital. That early work shaped how she responds when people feel overwhelmed or unable to cope. She later moved into community behavioral health and now leads an agency while continuing direct treatment for mental health and substance use concerns.
Her approach mixes practical skills and talking therapies. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She also draws on experience with trauma-focused care and substance use treatment when relevant.
Salina prefers video so she can read nonverbal cues, but she will use the phone and email as needed. She aims for clear, honest feedback in sessions and adjusts her style if something isn’t working. She encourages clients to notice weekly patterns between sessions to bring into their work together.
Practical matters include using a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session.
How her approaches fit with online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed actions. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and still take steps that matter to them, which can suit stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence reactions today; it is often useful for intimacy issues and blended family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it can address mood, anxiety, and coping strategies.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and make small adjustments if something isn’t helping.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the profile notes a preference for video and mentions phone and email use. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let the therapist observe facial expressions and nonverbal cues during video sessions, which can help when talking about family interactions and relationship patterns.
