Oksana Salaam

My name is Oksana Salaam, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I provide telehealth services to individuals across Florida, offering flexibility, comfort, and accessibility for anyone seeking support.

I became a therapist because I realized how essential mental health is and how it connects to every part of our lives. Mental health is universal, and when we understand its impact, we can begin making real, meaningful change. Understanding this has shaped the way I show up for the people I work with. I’m passionate about supporting individuals at every stage of life who are ready to feel more grounded, understood, and connected to themselves.

I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors, supporting clients through life transitions, emotional challenges, relationship concerns, and personal growth. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel understood, empowered, and truly seen as they move toward healing and change.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I tailor each session to the unique needs of the person in front of me. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I am also certified in MII Wrap an approach that provides coordinated support for individuals facing emotional or behavioral challenges.

In our first session, the focus is on you feeling comfortable and understood. We’ll take time to build rapport, talk through what brought you here, and get clear on your goals and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy. I’ll walk you through my integrative approach and how we can work together in a way that feels supportive, collaborative, and aligned with where you are. It’s a space to settle in, check in with yourself, and start the process at a pace that feels right for you.
