About Salina
Salina Mecham is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with six years of clinical experience. She practices in Utah and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting, addictions, grief, and family of origin difficulties. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings to notice patterns and respond differently.
She trained at the University of Utah where she earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in social work and completed substance use treatment certification. Early work in group homes and later roles in behavioral health settings shaped her approach to straightforward care. Her background includes work with people facing severe distress and problems that affect daily functioning.
Her clinical style draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to help change thinking and behavior, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and dialectical behavior skills for emotional regulation. Attachment-focused ideas guide how she looks at patterns that began in childhood and still matter now.
Mecham also uses trauma-focused tools when needed, including EMDR for clients addressing traumatic memories. She values direct feedback in sessions and will adjust techniques if something is not working for a client. Clients are encouraged to notice week-to-week patterns and bring specific examples to sessions.
Cost varies by location, and sessions operate through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the online options button.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, purposeful actions even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. It suits clients struggling with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to change outcomes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice repeated roles and closeness issues that trace back to childhood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides which techniques are used in sessions.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. The practice notes a preference for video to read nonverbal cues, and also uses phone and email in some situations. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the exact session options when you schedule so you know what to expect.
