About Sibella
She has supported people with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and stress. She also helps those facing grief, identity questions, intimacy concerns, and caregiver strain. Her background includes two years at a community clinic in Minneapolis working with Indigenous communities on complex and historical trauma and related adjustment challenges.
Her style is warm and interactive. She uses narrative therapy as a foundation and draws on other approaches to match each person’s needs. This can include elements of cognitive-behavioral work, person-centered listening, and mindfulness practices when they fit the situation.
She emphasizes understanding how systems and history shape present struggles. That means she pays attention to cultural and social influences while helping people build coping skills. Clients can expect a collaborative process that focuses on strengths and practical steps.
Dr. Salazar aims to help people rewrite the stories that keep them stuck and to build paths toward resilience and change. She supports those trying to manage life transitions, relationship difficulties, post-traumatic stress, and the ongoing strain of caregiving.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Dr. Salazar bases her work in narrative therapy, which focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and how those stories shape choices and feelings. Narrative work helps people separate themselves from a problem and imagine different possibilities for the future.She also incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and adjust behaviors that maintain distress. These practical strategies are useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress. Mindfulness practices are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and calm, which can help with emotional regulation and caregiver fatigue.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, then recommend which methods to try. Together you can adjust the plan if something isn’t working so therapy stays relevant to your life.
If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also accommodate quieter surroundings or times when being on camera is not preferred. Licensed professionals will help you find a rhythm and format that fits your routines and needs.
