Salina Mecham, LCSW, LICSW

Salina Mecham is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, and career stress. Sessions are delivered in English and she practices from Utah.

Salina began her career in group homes for youth and later worked in a behavioral health hospital. That hands-on experience shaped how she approaches crisis, substance use, and intense behavioral health needs. She also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and caregiving stress.

Her clinical approach draws on several methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and dialectical behavior strategies when they fit the problem. Attachment-based work and client-centered methods are part of how she helps people understand their relationships and patterns.

Salina prefers video sessions because she can read nonverbal cues, though she will use the phone and often communicates by email with a typical 48-hour response time. She mentions that email is used regularly and that she can sometimes arrange special times if an emergency arises.

She also has experience in couples work and substance use treatment through roles noted in her background, and she uses an eclectic mix of tools including EMDR for trauma when appropriate. Salina emphasizes direct feedback and adjustment in session so therapy stays useful and practical.
