Donna San Salvador

Donna San Salvador, LMHC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and addiction. She works with adults on relationship struggles, grief, parenting concerns, and questions about identity. Her style is direct and collaborative, so clients and she set goals together and track progress over time.

Donna spends sessions listening first, then helping people find practical ways to change thoughts and reactions that get in the way. She draws on approaches that emphasize the person’s own experience, emotion, and meaning. The work aims to make everyday life more manageable and relationships clearer.

With 13 years of clinical experience, Donna brings steady support to people navigating difficult transitions. She has a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and holds a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. Donna also has a national board credential and uses that background to inform her practice.

Her approach includes exploring patterns from family of origin, attachment, and past loss when they relate to current problems. She also addresses issues around intimacy, body image, and alternative sexual cultures when those topics come up. Sessions focus on concrete steps clients can take between meetings.

People who seek her help often want problem-solving together rather than a long, open-ended process. Donna works to balance emotional understanding with tools clients can use right away. Before booking, confirm the session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit your needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build goals that matter. This approach helps with relationship struggles, identity questions, and decisions about life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses clear steps and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, anger, and depressive patterns. CBT often includes specific homework to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. It may reduce travel time, help manage appointments around work or school, and let people meet from different locations. Exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to learn what is available. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to carry out many of the same exercises and conversations they would in person, while tailoring the pace and tools to each person’s situation.
