Salvatore Pagano is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Missouri with six years of experience in providing therapy. He holds a state counseling license in Missouri (MO LPC 2016015347) and has been working with BetterHelp for almost three years.
He has also spent considerable time supporting university students across a broad range of concerns, including anxiety and depression, gender identity, relationships, sexual addiction, drug and alcohol addictions, personality disorders, curriculum and career planning, and adjustment to college life. His work with the Army Medical Service Corps added exposure to many personnel, family, work, career, and life change situations.
His approach centers on the needs of each client and draws from multiple theoretical models - attachment theory, object relations, self-psychology, existential therapy, and person-centered therapy. Salvatore describes his style as respectful, empathic, and interactive, aiming to engage clients collaboratively in the work.
He believes it is important for people to feel satisfied with their careers and relationships and sees value in striving for a richer life. Building a therapeutic relationship is viewed as a constructive step toward those goals.
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can produce meaningful results. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is convenience - clients can choose the format that best suits their routines and comfort level, whether that is a video session, a phone call, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain regular appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals provide care through these formats, and if a client feels they would work better with a different therapist, it is generally possible to change providers. For many people, online therapy offers a practical and effective route to addressing everyday mental health concerns and navigating personal challenges.
