Stephanie Salgado

Hi, I’m Stephanie Salgado, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving Women and Teen girls across Los Angeles County and throughout California through online therapy.

I specialize in supporting high-achieving women and teen girls who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, and the pressure to always hold everything together. Many of my clients appear successful on the outside but internally feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or constantly worried about making mistakes or letting others down.

In our work together, my focus is on helping you slow down, gain clarity, and better understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck in anxiety or self-pressure. Therapy becomes a space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, develop healthier ways of responding to stress, and begin building a stronger sense of confidence and balance in your life.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical, integrating evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed approaches influeced by Empowerment Feminist Therapy to help you manage anxiety, strengthen self-confidence, and foster emotional flexibility. Together, we work on creating personalized strategies that allow you to thrive in both your personal and professional life.

In your first session, we’ll get to know each other in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space. I’ll learn about your current challenges, goals, and what brought you to therapy, while we begin exploring patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, perfectionism, or overwhelm. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and start building practical strategies to help you feel more balanced, confident, and empowered. Most clients leave with a sense of clarity about the process and small steps they can take right away.
