About Cecelia

Cecelia Salamone is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 25 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns like depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and self-esteem. She also addresses codependency-related patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and difficulty setting boundaries.

Her work uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage day-to-day stress and painful emotions. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trying small changes between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of the approach she uses to tackle anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Clients come for help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and coping with life changes like divorce, caregiving, or serious illness. She also addresses concerns tied to family roles, blended families, aging, and career strain. Where grief, trauma, or past abuse affect daily life, she works with people to make sense of those experiences and find manageable steps forward.

She brings direct, experience-based guidance rather than abstract theory. That can mean practicing a new way to say no, testing a different response to criticism, or tracking moods and thoughts to spot patterns. The focus is on usable tools and clearer choices.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How CBT and practical methods work online

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In plain terms it helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, test different ways of thinking, and practice new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems like repetitive worrying or harsh self-criticism.

Alongside CBT, sessions use straightforward skills practice and problem-solving. That means setting small, measurable goals, trying new responses between sessions, and reviewing what worked. These methods are useful for relationship patterns, boundaries, grief, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, priorities, and preferences, and then try concrete strategies together. Adjustments happen as the work proceeds so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises to an online setting to keep sessions goal-focused and practical.
