About Salisa
Salisa Garrand is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and maternal mental health concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Salisa focuses on practical steps you can take to feel steadier day to day. She helps people talk through past trauma, manage panic and anxiety, and address parenting and postpartum struggles. She also works with issues around self-esteem, abandonment, attachment, and relationship problems such as infidelity or separation.
Her stated approach is trauma-informed and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In sessions she emphasizes resilience and building on a person’s existing strengths. Conversations include clear goals and concrete strategies rather than abstract labels.
Salisa frames the client as the expert in their own story and treats therapy as a collaborative process. People can expect direct discussion of symptoms, coping tools, and steps to reduce overwhelm. The therapist also addresses feelings such as emptiness, guilt, shame, isolation, and self-harm thoughts with attention to safety and practical coping.
She works from a clinical perspective that integrates attention to maternal mental health, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and postpartum depression. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the platform steps to match and schedule an initial appointment.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Salisa works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and processing trauma. One common approach involves skills training for managing anxiety and panic - learning short breathing and grounding practices and practicing them in session to reduce symptoms. Another approach addresses trauma and maternal mental health by helping people process distressing memories and connect those memories to present triggers, with an eye toward improving day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches that fit the client's goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That process is collaborative and practical rather than purely theoretical.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around life commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about session length, how to structure check-ins, and any preferences about video or audio so sessions fit into everyday routines.
