About Salisa
Salisa Garrand meets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She focuses on helping individuals who face anxiety, stress, depression, and challenges after trauma. Salisa also supports those coping with parenting strains, postpartum concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and self-worth.
Salisa is a licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York with four years of experience. She draws on her own journey to offer a calm and respectful space for people to talk through painful memories and current worries.
How Salisa works
Sessions are aimed at building small, useful skills and moments of relief rather than quick fixes. Her work is trauma-informed and holistic. That means attention to how past events affect present feelings and relationships, while also addressing practical routines, coping tools, and self-care.
She emphasizes strengths and resilience, helping clients notice what already works and what can change. In sessions Salisa listens first, then helps set goals together. Conversations may cover relationship stresses, attachment wounds, grief over separation or infidelity, and fears tied to panic or trauma.
She also supports parents facing guilt, isolation, or the intense shifts that come with pregnancy and childbirth. People who meet with Salisa can expect a supportive, steady presence and concrete strategies to manage symptoms. The focus is on gradual progress and on teaching skills that fit daily life.
Her approach aims to help clients regain a sense of control and to build toward more satisfying days.

Online support options
How evidence-based methods fit online care
Salisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on healing from trauma and reducing anxiety and depression. One common approach she applies helps people process difficult memories in small steps so those memories feel less overwhelming and interrupt daily life less often. Another approach emphasizes building practical coping skills for panic, stress, and low mood, teaching short routines and breathing or grounding exercises that can be used between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Salisa works with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan when needed. She helps clients weigh what feels useful and what needs change so the work fits their life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and have more conversational sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to continue progress even when life gets hectic.
