Sallie Freeman

Sallie Freeman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical work. She focuses on helping people facing anxiety, stress, relationship pain, parenting challenges, and questions about identity. Sallie aims to create an affirming environment for LGBTQIA2S+ people and others seeking growth.

She uses practical, talk-through approaches so people can start making changes quickly. Sessions often look at the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and build small experiments to try new ways of coping. When relationships are part of the concern, she brings in structured tools to improve communication and connection.

Sallie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with anxiety, obsessions, and phobias. Client-centered techniques guide a gentle, listening-first stance when identity, grief, or life purpose are on the table. The Gottman Method is used when relationship patterns and repair skills need focused attention.

People struggling with family-of-origin issues, divorce and separation, infidelity, or the stresses of parenting can find straightforward strategies to reduce distress. She also supports those dealing with hoarding behaviors, gender dysphoria concerns, sexuality questions, and workplace or career stress.

Sallie works with hospice and end-of-life counseling concerns as one area of focus. Her approach aims to help people name what matters, clarify values, and find ways to live in line with those values even during hard seasons.

How her approaches translate to online care

Sallie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts while choosing actions that reflect their values. ACT can support anxiety, grief, and questions about life purpose by focusing on what matters most.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and test them with real-life behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, and social anxiety because it offers clear steps to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress or challenges emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to an office. Many people find it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caretaking demands, and the same therapeutic tools used in person - values work, thought tracking, and practical behavior experiments - adapt well to an online setting.
