About Sally
Sally Sierra is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life changes.
Sally uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values.
Sessions often involve straightforward skill work and focused conversation. Sally may use emotion-focused and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when people need tools for managing strong emotions and improving regulation.
She helps people with everyday pressures like parenting strain, work stress, loneliness, and midlife transitions. Sally also supports concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, and the emotional effects of immigration or aging.
Her practice aims to help people develop coping strategies they can use outside sessions. She works with clients to set realistic goals, practice new skills between meetings, and check what is or isn't working. To begin, clients complete an intake that guides how sessions will be structured.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values. In practice this looks like setting simple goals, practicing willingness with difficult feelings, and choosing actions that match personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often involves brief exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and reactions. This approach can help adults understand recurring conflicts, intimacy-related worries, and communication habits. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences, and suggest techniques that fit your needs. That recommendation is collaborative and may change as progress is tracked. The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. For people who find talking about strong feelings hard, skill-focused sessions and brief practice assignments can be a useful way to build confidence between meetings.Areas of focus
