About Rosa
Dr. Rosa Salas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and works in both English and Spanish. Her stated focus includes stress, anxiety, sleep problems, self-esteem, depression, parenting concerns, relationships, trauma and grief.
She offers a conversational, client-centered way of working. Sessions are meant to be practical and useable at home. Rosa helps people name what is happening, try small changes, and notice what helps. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work and attachment-based ideas when those fit the situation.
Her practice supports people facing life changes such as caregiving demands, immigration challenges, midlife transitions, and end-of-life concerns. She also notes experience with neurodiversity and autism-affirming support, and with issues like codependency, communication problems, and cultural and discrimination-related stress.
Rosa describes using EMDR alongside other approaches for people who have trauma and abuse to address distressing memories. She also references elements of the Gottman Method in work around relationship communication and interaction patterns. The emphasis is on building tools that can be used between sessions.
Her work style includes written exchanges as a core option to encourage reflection and follow-up. People who prefer spoken sessions can also use audio or video, and she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first visit.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how people connect and relate. It focuses on patterns of closeness and distance and can help with relationship stress and parenting concerns. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting. It gives space for someone to tell their story and for the therapist to respond in ways that clarify priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rosa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with conversational, client-centered sessions and adding CBT exercises or EMDR work when appropriate.
The biography notes that live chat and messaging are her primary formats, with audio and video also mentioned. If you want to confirm which formats are offered now, check the session options before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a parent’s schedule, allow short check-ins between responsibilities, and let people review written guidance after a session. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote use so learning continues between meetings.
