Christina Salameh

Christina Salameh is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - with four years of counseling experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, career uncertainty, and coping with life changes, and she notes life purpose among her areas of focus.

Christina uses straightforward conversations to help people understand what matters to them now. Sessions focus on identifying goals, noticing patterns, and testing small changes that feel manageable. She describes the client as the director of their life while offering guidance on steps forward.

Her background includes a master's degree in clinical counseling from John Carroll University and hands-on work with people who have experienced trauma. That practical experience shapes how she approaches stress, parenting worries, body image concerns, and relationship difficulties.

Christina draws on a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment techniques to clarify values and action, and motivational strategies to support change. She also uses client-centered and solution-focused methods when those fit.

In sessions she helps people talk through commitment questions, communication problems, and life transitions like divorce, adoption and foster care dynamics, or aging concerns. Parents and caregivers who are juggling stress and responsibilities will find attention to concrete coping options and next steps. Her work aims to be practical and focused on what can change now.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to alter mood and functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation to change, which can help with career moves, habit shifts, or commitment questions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Christina will help clients pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust those choices as progress is made. The process is collaborative and practical, with attention to measurable next steps.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or video conversations that avoid travel time. Phone or lower-bandwidth options can be useful when a quieter or simpler setup is needed. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit into everyday life.
