About Rosa

Dr. Rosa Salas is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida.

Background and approach

She brings 20 years of clinical experience to sessions and offers care in English and Spanish. Her work focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, sleep problems, and the stress of life changes.

She uses a mix of practical talk therapy and evidence-informed techniques. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, what patterns keep coming up, and small steps people can take between meetings.

Many clients explore relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and anger in these conversations. Dr.

Salas also supports issues related to aging and caregiving, autism and Asperger syndrome, immigration stress, and multicultural concerns. She works with worries around codependency, guilt and shame, control issues, and finding life purpose.

Hospice and end-of-life topics are another area she addresses with sensitivity. Her therapeutic style emphasizes listening and collaboration.

People can expect straightforward feedback, a focus on skills they can use, and attention to cultural and life-stage factors that shape each problem. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual’s goals and pace.

Sessions are available through multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Dr.

Salas encourages people to try a format that feels manageable and to adjust as needs change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Gottman Method is focused on helping people notice interaction patterns and learn concrete skills for communication and connection. It can be useful when relationship behaviors and repeated conflicts are a main concern.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections influence current responses. It helps people understand emotional needs and build more supported ways of relating to others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and day-to-day coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans can change as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people reflect in writing and keep a record of techniques and messages to revisit later. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care from different locations.
