About Salina

Salina Mecham is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on practical help for common and painful life problems. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful so people can feel steadier at home, work, and in relationships.

Salina draws on six years of clinical experience and a social work education from the University of Utah. Her background includes work in group homes and behavioral health settings where she supported people facing intense crises.

Background and approach

That experience shaped how she responds calmly when things feel overwhelming. Her approach mixes a few different methods to match what each person needs. She often uses Gottman Method ideas for relationship work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people move toward their values.

She also uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques for patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Salina has experience with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related struggles. She also helps with parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, body image, and issues related to adoption and attachment.

She aims to be direct, kind, and curious during sessions so people can try new ways of coping. In teletherapy she prefers video so she can better read interactions, but she also offers phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. She asks clients to notice week-to-week patterns and bring those observations into sessions for real change.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Salina uses the Gottman Method ideas to help people understand and change patterns in close relationships, focusing on communication and practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify personal values and take small, meaningful steps even when difficult feelings show up. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current reactions and helps people build different ways of relating and coping.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person and adjust plans as needed based on what helps most.

Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video is often preferred so nonverbal cues and interactions are clearer. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick notes or follow-ups and can fit into busy days without needing to be on camera.
