About Sally
Her career has focused largely on medical social work across four different states. Early roles included counseling patients and families in an inpatient rehabilitation center following strokes, spinal cord injuries, and head injuries. She later worked in high-risk obstetrics and neonatal intensive care units, supporting high-risk pregnant women, families of NICU infants, and babies affected by prenatal substance exposure. During that period she led a support group for NICU parents and provided counseling to women facing adoption decisions, fetal loss, domestic violence situations, postpartum depression, and other pregnancy-related challenges.
For the past 13 years Sally has worked in California at a children’s hospital, contributing to the Child Protection Team and co-facilitating a grief support group. She also supports parents of children with chronic medical conditions and assists families navigating significant life changes. Known for her comfort with diverse populations and all ages, Sally draws on medical social work experience to address complex family, trauma, and life transition needs.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients identify personal values and take committed action toward those values, even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where living according to priorities matters more than eliminating symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports clients in finding their own solutions; it is especially helpful for building self-understanding, coping skills, and stronger relationships. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic events through targeted strategies that address trauma-related symptoms and promote healing.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sally will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor care so it feels practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles and needs. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and continue therapeutic work during busy or changing life circumstances, supporting continuity and accessibility of care.
