Christina Salameh , LPCC

Christina Salameh is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio with four years of experience. She holds a master’s degree in clinical counseling from John Carroll University. Christina focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, relationship concerns, and major life changes.

Her approach is warm and empathetic. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and helps them set practical goals. Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on usable steps rather than lengthy theory.

Christina uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance-based strategies to help people live by their values. Motivational techniques and solution-focused work are used to move toward clear goals and small wins.

She has experience supporting people who have survived trauma and those navigating parenting, body image, or identity concerns including LGBT issues. Christina also works with career questions, grief around family changes, adoption and foster care topics, and caregiver stress.

In sessions she helps people break big problems into manageable steps. She listens for what matters most, then helps build coping tools and realistic plans. The goal is to increase a person’s sense of agency and self-compassion over time.

How her approaches translate to online care

Christina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in session. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will adjust methods as needed. The process is collaborative - together they decide which techniques to try and when to change course.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more direct interaction. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, ongoing tracking, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules and life demands.
