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 works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and related issues. Sessions are presented in plain language and focus on concrete steps to address problems that make daily life harder.
She began her work supporting young people in group homes and later practiced in a behavioral health hospital. Those early roles shaped a practical approach to crisis and ongoing care. Over time she moved into leadership while continuing to provide direct treatment for mental health and substance use concerns.
Salina uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior tools, attachment-informed work, and client-centered conversation. She also has experience using EMDR for trauma and applies what fits each person's situation.
She prefers video sessions because seeing nonverbal cues helps her understand what is happening in the moment. Phone sessions are also used at times, and she often exchanges emails, responding within 48 hours. Her practice asks clients to notice how their week affects them and bring those observations into sessions for focused discussion.
Salina values direct feedback during sessions and will adjust her approach if something is not working. She holds licenses in multiple states and currently practices from Utah, offering work in English for adult clients who want help with the concerns listed above.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values; this can help with anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns, which often helps with stress and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence reactions and connection in the present, useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Deciding which method to use is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they check what feels useful and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.
Salina prefers video sessions because visual cues help her read interactions and tailor responses; she also uses phone calls and regular email communication and will confirm available formats when you book. Online work can make sessions fit into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Before scheduling, confirm the exact session formats and timing offered so they match your needs.
