About Shannon
Shannon Salgado is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and addiction. She works with individuals who are struggling with relationship and family tension.
Background and approach
Shannon focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control. Her approach values the client's own knowledge of their life.
She listens first, then helps people name what matters most and set small, achievable goals. Sessions often include learning new ways to talk about difficult topics and practicing skills between meetings.
Shannon draws on methods that emphasize connection and clarity. She uses Gottman Method ideas to improve communication and reduce recurring conflict.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. Her clinical work includes attention to trauma and abuse, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress.
She supports people feeling isolated or struggling with social anxiety and phobia. She also helps those looking for more meaning or self-love in their lives.
Shannon blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-focused thinking. Her style is steady and encouraging, aimed at helping people make changes that fit their daily life.
She offers sessions from Florida and accepts English-speaking international clients.
Using evidence-based approaches in online care
Shannon often blends Gottman Method ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy during online sessions. Gottman-focused techniques help people learn practical communication skills and reduce repeating patterns of conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice painful thoughts and act toward personal values despite them.Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss goals, and recommend which methods to try first. You can try different techniques and adjust the plan over time so it fits your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you practice communication exercises and observe interaction in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between longer sessions and fit therapy into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to work into a routine with a licensed professional.
