About Donna
Donna San Salvador is a Florida LMHC with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, intimacy-related issues, and related challenges.
She meets people where their everyday life is. Sessions are straightforward and focused. Donna listens to what matters most and helps clients set practical goals. She draws on several psychotherapy approaches to guide conversations and coping skills.
Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family stresses, caregiver strain, and family of origin patterns. She also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and recovery from domestic violence or substance problems.
Donna uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in each person’s priorities. She integrates cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Emotionally-focused methods inform work around close relationships and intimacy-related issues.
After earning a master’s degree in mental health counseling, she became licensed in Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). She has spent much of her career helping adults manage anxiety and depression and navigate life transitions.
People who want clear, direct therapy that connects daily life to lasting change often choose to begin conversations with her. To schedule a first session, follow the site’s booking steps and complete the short matching questionnaire.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy places the client's concerns at the center of every session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients decide which issues to focus on. This approach helps when people need clear priorities and practical next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought that keep stress or anxiety going. Sessions introduce simple exercises to test thoughts and build different habits. This can be useful for managing panic, low mood, anger, and unhelpful routines.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand emotions in close relationships and improve how they communicate about feelings. It can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns, attachment issues, and relationship conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust as progress is tracked. That collaborative process helps match methods to what actually helps in daily life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can explain which session rhythm and format will best fit your routine during the initial scheduling steps.
