About Salisa
Salisa Garrand is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and maternal mental health concerns. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on practical support parents and others can use between sessions. Her first aim is to make things feel more manageable day to day.
With four years of professional experience, she draws on a trauma-informed and holistic outlook. Sessions often include talking through difficult memories, learning ways to reduce panic and anxiety, and building skills to manage low mood and overwhelming stress.
Background and approach
She emphasizes strengths and small, practical steps that add up over time. Salisa centers each session on the person in front of her. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and works alongside them to uncover helpful patterns and habits.
The pace is set by the client and can include shorter check-ins or longer work depending on needs. Many clients address relationship wounds such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. She also supports people facing postpartum depression, pregnancy-related concerns, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Her background and style are aimed at building resilience. She offers straightforward tools for emotional regulation, coping with panic attacks, and improving self-esteem. Salisa focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she helps people map realistic steps toward feeling better.
Therapeutic Techniques and Online Care
Salisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process trauma and reduce anxiety. Trauma-informed methods focus on creating stability first, then gently processing difficult memories while teaching coping skills to manage intense emotions. These approaches are helpful for post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and the fallout from past abuse.She also uses practical skills-building strategies to address anxiety and depression. These techniques teach breath work, grounding exercises, and step-by-step plans for tackling overwhelming tasks or negative self-talk. They are often used for panic disorder, low self-esteem, and day-to-day stress relief.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their goals, comfort level, and life situation. That process may change over time as different techniques are tried and adjusted together.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls let people work face to face when they want fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide short, timely support and let clients share thoughts between sessions without scheduling a call.
