Lori Salmon

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and accepted. I bring a warm, caring, and open‐minded presence to therapy, using a holistic, person‐first lens to understand the full context of each client’s life. I walk alongside clients in a collaborative process, supporting adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, gender identity exploration, challenging coping patterns, and moments of crisis. My approach is validating and empowering, helping clients feel safe exploring difficult emotions while building confidence in their strengths and developing healthier ways to cope.

I draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution‐Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Exposure Therapy—to support clients in challenging unhelpful patterns, building resilience, and creating meaningful personal growth.

In our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming space where you can share at your own pace. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and any concerns you may have. I’ll ask questions to get to know you as a whole person—your strengths, your challenges, and the context around your experiences. Together, we’ll begin building a plan that feels supportive, manageable, and tailored to your needs. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the work ahead.
