About Trinity

Trinity Salazar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She offers individual therapy for adults, adolescents, and children and addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, trauma and abuse, relationship and family strains, parenting stress, and anger. Trinity also helps with substance concerns, grief, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and coping with major life changes.

She uses evidence-based methods including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and applies family-centered ideas when relevant. Sessions emphasize clear goals, practical skills, and honest conversation. Trinity blends clinical knowledge with real-world problem solving to reduce reactive anger and build steady habits for managing frustration.

Her background includes work in schools, in-home settings, and outpatient care, plus experience serving military-connected populations and veterans. She has worked with military commands and served homeless veterans in transition programs. Trinity also contributes to schools as a Military Family Life Consultant and teaches as a Teaching Associate at The University of Pennsylvania.

Trinity completed a master’s degree in social work at Fayetteville State University after earning a bachelor’s degree in political science from North Carolina State University. She holds LCSW credentials in North Carolina and is currently enrolled in the Doctor of Clinical Social Work program at The University of Pennsylvania, where her dissertation examines suicide in the U.S. military.

In practical terms, she focuses on helping people notice patterns that lead to angry reactions, practice different responses, and work toward clearer communication and better sleep. Her sessions aim for usable tools rather than abstract talk.

How sessions work

Practical approaches and online sessions

Trinity commonly uses Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. This approach helps people understand how traumatic experiences shape reactions, and teaches skills for reducing intrusive memories, hyperarousal, and reactive anger. It aims to replace automatic responses with clearer, calmer thoughts and behaviors.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy more broadly to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to rehearse different responses. CBT focuses on small, repeated changes in thinking and behavior that reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and sleep disruption. When family dynamics affect someone, family-centered therapeutic ideas may be used to address communication and roles rather than whole-family sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Trinity will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs. She adjusts plans as progress is reviewed so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep therapy consistent through life changes, while tailoring meeting length and focus to what helps most.
