About Trinity

Trinity Salazar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of experience. She works with children, adolescents, and adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, trauma, relationship strain, and codependency. Trinity combines practical skills and clear discussion to help people handle difficult emotions and daily stressors.

Her approach draws on evidence-based methods like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also uses Family Centered Therapy when appropriate to address patterns that affect relationships and daily life. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, learning concrete coping tools, and practicing new ways of relating to others.

Trinity has worked in homes, schools, and outpatient settings. She has experience with military-connected clients and with veterans, including roles with United States Special Operations Command and the Veterans Transition Center of Monterey. That background informs her understanding of trauma, loss, and intense stress responses.

She combines clinical work with academic roles, serving as a Teaching Associate at the University of Pennsylvania and pursuing a Doctor of Clinical Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania. Her doctoral research examines suicide in the U.S. military. Trinity also holds a Master of Social Work from Fayetteville State University and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from North Carolina State University.

In sessions she offers direct conversation, practical skill-building, and attention to how patterns from the past show up now. People meet to set clear goals, try small changes between sessions, and adjust strategies as needed.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down how traumatic memories affect thoughts and behaviors. It uses structured exercises and gradual exposure to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and teach new coping responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and unhelpful relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Trinity will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and switching or combining methods when needed so clients can make steady progress.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving. They also let people choose shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce travel time, and make it possible to connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based exercises to fit an online appointment and help clients practice skills between sessions.
