About Rosa

Dr. Rosa Salas brings two decades of clinical practice to her work as an LMFT, blending practical strategies with empathic listening to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disruptions, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a core tool to identify unhelpful thoughts and create actionable coping skills, while also drawing from attachment-based and client-centered approaches to build stronger emotional insight and resilience. Her practice in Florida emphasizes trauma-informed care, addressing issues such as relationship and family conflict, grief, abuse, eating concerns, anger, and parenting challenges.

Dr. Salas also supports clients facing aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, autism and Asperger syndrome, immigration-related struggles, and multicultural or discrimination-related stressors.

She offers services in both English and Spanish and has a long-standing interest in helping people find purpose and reconciliation during difficult transitions. Sessions are offered through a range of online formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging, with flexibility in scheduling.

Dr. Salas holds licensure as an LMFT with credentials listed in Maine and New York, and she emphasizes a collaborative process to tailor treatment to each person’s goals and circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Salas uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption. Attachment-based therapy is also part of her toolkit, focusing on how relational patterns and emotional bonds shape current difficulties and offering ways to build more stable connections.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Salas works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life context, and then tailors techniques from these methods so the plan fits the client's needs rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Dr. Salas offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or access support from home. These formats allow for ongoing skill-building, timely check-ins, and varied interaction styles so clients can select the mode that feels most comfortable and useful for their progress.
