About Trinity

Trinity Salazar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of experience. She works with adults, adolescents, and children on problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, sleep disruption, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and issues tied to family of origin patterns.

Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She uses Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address symptoms like panic, obsessive thoughts, and sleep problems. She also applies Family Centered Therapy principles when family dynamics are part of the concern.

Trinity has experience across settings including in-home work, schools, and outpatient clinics. She has worked with military populations and with veterans in transitional housing. That background shapes how she talks about role expectations, separation, and adjustment after major life changes.

Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer patterns. Trinity helps people identify repeated roles and expectations from the family they grew up in, and then practices alternative responses. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to coping strategies and communication skills.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from North Carolina State University and a Master of Social Work from Fayetteville State University. She is enrolled in a Doctor of Clinical Social Work program at the University of Pennsylvania and completed Columbia University’s Pedagogy Institute for Teaching Social Work.

For people navigating lingering family patterns, Trinity combines clinical experience with classroom teaching and community work. She aims to help clients make concrete changes in daily life and relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy blends discussion of distressing memories with practical skills for managing reactions. It helps people reduce panic, manage intrusive thoughts, and improve sleep by practicing concrete coping techniques during and between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors by teaching structured tools for thinking and acting differently.

Family Centered Therapy looks at interaction patterns and roles that keep problems going. When family history or current dynamics matter, this approach helps people recognize recurring patterns and practice different responses in relationships.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, symptoms, and preferences, and suggest which approaches to try first. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust methods as needed so the work fits the person’s needs.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone use audio-only options when bandwidth is limited or keep video for more interactive skills practice.
