Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


I specialize in helping my clients feel more connected in family and love relationships. You may be a parent struggling with irritability and boundaries, a married person feeling resentful or overwhelmed by conflict with your partner, or someone feeling burdened by guilt or expectations in extended family relationships. These kinds of struggles can create feelings of isolation and loneliness, or the sense that you've developed a short fuse alternating with feelings of hopelessness. Problems in important relationships can lead to an impaired sense of self-worth, overwhelming guilt and shame, or a hypercritical inner voice.

Therapist

I enjoy helping clients heal from their trauma, whether that be from childhood or in their adult years. Whatever it may be that you are seeing me for, I like to dig into your history to see what there may be. Unhealed wounds from the past will manifest in different forms in the present.

I specialize in trauma, PTSD, and DID. We are all human and at many points throughout life need to reach out to someone for help, whether it is from friends, family, or professionals. Reaching out can be difficult and a bit scary, but rest assured you are making the right choice and taking a huge step in the right direction. We will walk through this journey together.

Marianne Lopez

Marianne Lopez

Therapist

Virtual • Oregon


My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.

My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EFT, IFS, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Salem, OR

Searching for therapists in Salem starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for a Salem therapist for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit what you are looking for.

Salem is a smaller city, so your local options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond nearby offices while keeping care with a therapist licensed in Oregon. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in sessions.

Therapy in Salem can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you start. Headway helps you search for Salem, Oregon therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific therapist and location. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you are ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
