About Sally
Sally Press is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California with three years of clinical experience. She chose counseling after becoming a mother and brings that sense of purpose into her work. Sally creates a calm, approachable space where people can say what feels hard and begin to make changes.
She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
How Sally works
Sally also gives attention to concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and isolation. She uses practical tools aimed at everyday problems rather than jargon. Sessions start with a short history and a discussion of what the person wants to work on.
Building rapport comes first so clients feel heard before moving to strategies. Sally emphasizes collaboration - she and the person set goals together and try things that fit real life. Therapy often includes teaching coping skills, improving communication, and practicing new ways to manage intense feelings.
She adapts tools to the person’s age and needs and pays attention to developmental concerns when relevant. Progress is tracked in straightforward, measurable steps. Sally offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make ongoing support easier to fit into busy schedules.
All sessions are provided in English and occur with her California LPCC credential.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical steps people can use day to day. One approach teaches coping skills and emotion regulation so someone can manage panic, anxiety, or overwhelming feelings in the moment. Another approach looks at how early attachment and abandonment concerns affect current relationships and helps people try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, history, and personal preferences. That means trying a strategy, checking how it fits, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online formats make regular therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send short updates, ask questions between sessions, or use written reflection if typing feels more comfortable. These options help therapy fit into school, work, or caregiving schedules.
