Brenda Sallee, LMFT

Brenda Sallee is a licensed marriage and family therapist, FL LMFT, with 10 years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, and concerns around addiction and codependency. She also works with issues related to family of origin, caregiving stress, and transitions such as divorce or separation.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens to what matters most, helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, and offers strategies to respond differently. Conversations often focus on setting boundaries, managing strong emotions, and improving communication with others.

Brenda draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person's goals and experiences. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be introduced to manage intense feelings and build distress tolerance.

She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories and Internal Family Systems ideas to explore internal parts that conflict or protect. These approaches get translated into small, practical steps people can try between sessions.

Brenda practices in Florida and offers work that recognizes the impact of family patterns, trauma, and caregiving roles. People often come to her wanting clearer boundaries, relief from people-pleasing, and tools to cope when someone close struggles with substance use or volatile moods. Her goal is to help people find steadier ways to live with difficult relationships and emotions.
