Cecelia has a wonderful mix of empathy and compassion, healthy directness when I need it, and a sense of humor…which really is like great medicine! I’ve had therapy in years past, but this is the first and only time I’ve made such significant growth. I feel so much stronger and healthier. Thank you Cecelia!

Hello! My name is Cecelia Salamone and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from the State of Michigan. I have a M. A. in Counseling and B.S. in Education with Certification – Secondary and Elementary. I believe it is important to create an accepting, respectful, compassionate, encouraging environment. My approach is to develop a relaxed, empathic, non-judgmental, connection. Sometimes the first step is most challenging. I applaud you for reaching out to BetterHelp for counseling. To help reduce stress, anxiety or other negative emotions, I use Emotional Freedom Techniques or Tapping.

We all have a unique story. Perhaps you have had your story since you were a child, teenager, or possibly a few years or months ago. I would be honored if you would take me into your confidence and share it. You have lived your life and you are the expert. I will work cooperatively to devise approaches and solutions that work best for you. We will strive to reach your potential and work towards a sense of healing, joy, self-understanding and HOPE. Since Laughter is the Best Medicine – I have a great sense of humor and laughter is part of who I am. Laughter helps us stay mentally healthy, relaxes the body, reduces stress and anxiety.

Your goal as you travel your journey - Hope, Healing, Joy, Laughter

Counseling is a valuable investment. You are taking steps to prioritize your life. I look forward to having the opportunity of working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Cecelia has truly helped me grow so much as a person. She is so respectful and personable and I dont know where I'd be without her. She always takes time to message me and make sure to acknowledge my journal entries.

Cecelia has a wonderful approach to her therapy. She listens, she empathizes, she uses humor (the best medicine) all while she is figuring things out behind the scenes. Once you have your story out (it takes time), she will share what she knows, and she is spot on! I had an awakening and it really changed my life. I think of myself as my own best problem solver. I am able to go inside of my head and figure things out. Once I became overwhelmed dealing with different traumas, I sought help. Cecelia helped me see and recognize things that I never saw in my 50 years of life. I thought I had it all figured out!! Cecelia was kind and caring when needed, but truthful, blunt, and honest exactly when I needed her to be. I truly mean that she changed my life! I’ve learned so much about myself and others. Cecelia is a gem and I am so grateful for her!!

Cecelia has a way about her that puts me at ease. It took me a while to retry therapy because in the distant past, I would actually get anxiety before sessions. Now I look forward to my sessions because I feel refreshed afterwards, and capable of facing my challenges. This is not to say that Cecelia isn’t realistic, because she will help you see how you can work through your own thoughts and interactions which is exactly what I need too. I’ve learned more in the past several months than I have in my lifetime and I feel like a healthier, stronger version of me! Oh, and she has a wonderful sense of humor as a bonus! Laughter is so healing!

Cecelia has helped me so much from the very start of our sessions. From relationship problems to insecurities, issues at work and family troubles, she has helped me through it all with her amazing guidance. Cecelia holds me accountable, gives me specific “assignments” on what to work on, and most importantly makes me feel like I am seen and special and worth while. Finally, Cecelia knows how to LAUGH and we are always able to see things in a new, positive light by the end of every session. Cecelia is the best!!!
