About Brenda

Brenda Sallee is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and issues with self-esteem. She supports individuals coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating problems, parenting strain, career stress, and major life changes. Brenda brings ten years of clinical experience to each session and works from Florida.

Her style is calm and collaborative. She listens first to understand the stories people tell about themselves.

Background and approach

Then she helps them separate the problem from the person and look for different ways to respond. Sessions are conversational and practical, with exercises or reflections to try between meetings. Brenda uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive-behavioral tools to help people reframe difficult experiences.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and Internal Family Systems ideas when those approaches fit a person’s needs. Her methods are chosen to match what feels most useful to the individual rather than following a fixed script. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication patterns, codependency, and blended family challenges.

Brenda also supports people dealing with abandonment, avoidant or dependent personality concerns, dissociation, and co-occurring substance issues. The work is paced to the person’s comfort and goals. People who work with her can expect steady, respectful guidance aimed at clearer thinking and better daily coping.

She frames progress as small, observable steps, not instant fixes. The goal is to build skills and a stronger sense of self over time.

Online session options

How narrative and skills-based work translate to online therapy

Brenda uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how problems get named and invites new, more helpful meanings; it can be useful for relationship strain, identity questions, and past hurt. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on active listening and understanding your experience so you feel heard and respected in sessions.

When helpful, she incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it often complements the story work by giving concrete tools for anxiety, mood, and coping challenges. Finding the right mix is collaborative; she will talk with you about goals, preferences, and early results, and then adapt the plan as you go.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and deeper conversation, phone can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suits quick check-ins or brief coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or transit, and they let the therapist and client focus on practical steps that fit daily life.
