Trinity Salazar, LCSW

Trinity Salazar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and addiction. She also supports clients facing trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem. Trinity works with children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy sessions and accepts international clients who prefer English.

Her approach is warm and client-centered. She aims to meet people where they are and make space for honest conversation and reflection. Sessions focus on real-world skills and clearer communication rather than jargon or long explanations.

She draws on these methods to help people process traumatic memories, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and improve relationships and family interactions.

She has worked in homes, schools, and outpatient settings, and has eight years of clinical experience.

She also participates in teaching at the university level and is pursuing doctoral study in clinical social work.

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

How her approaches translate to online work

Trinity uses evidence-based methods such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Trauma-Focused CBT helps people process traumatic memories and reduce trauma-related symptoms through careful pacing and skills practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and day-to-day distress.

She also uses Family Centered Therapy to help individuals understand and change patterns in family interactions. That approach concentrates on clear communication, boundary setting, and practical steps families can try between sessions to improve relationships.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Trinity works together with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what feels manageable for the client.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes access simpler for people living outside North Carolina or for international clients who use English.
