About Sally

Sally Sierra is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Sally helps clients who are dealing with intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Sally uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions she listens for the feelings behind difficult moments and helps clients name and respond to those emotions. She focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as what comes up in the session.

Her work addresses relationship and family problems, communication breakdowns, abandonment fears, body image concerns, and isolation. She also supports people facing life transitions like midlife change, aging and geriatric concerns, immigration-related stress, hospice and end-of-life issues, and decisions about life purpose. Sally speaks English and practices in Florida.

Sally aims to help people recognize patterns that cause pain and to build clearer ways of relating to themselves and others. She brings straightforward talk and steady attention to emotional experience. For practical concerns like scheduling and cost she uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How EFT and related approaches are used in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that drive relationship and personal patterns. It helps people notice what they feel, name it, and try new responses to old emotional reactions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing chosen values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help when communication or closeness feels difficult.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Sessions may draw from EFT alongside ACT or CBT as useful, and adjustments are made based on what works for the person.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the therapist's profile does not list specific options here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to meet from different locations within the same state and to continue work during life transitions. Licensed professionals can help plan practical steps between sessions so therapeutic work fits everyday life.
