Rosa Salja-Mota is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She also works with LGBT concerns and offers support around hospice and end-of-life issues and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Rosa uses a client-centered approach. That means she aims to meet people where they are and build trust first. She combines this with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Her sessions often include mindfulness practices and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or strong emotional reactions are part of the concern. She focuses on teaching coping tools that people can use between sessions. Sessions tend to emphasize listening, validation, and small, achievable steps toward goals.
Rosa frames therapy as a team effort. She helps people clarify aims, practice skills, and try new ways of handling daily stressors. The work can include processing grief, navigating relationship tensions, managing seasonal mood shifts, or boosting self-worth.
People considering therapy are invited to start with a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule based on therapist availability. Her practice serves clients in Florida and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Rosa often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change thought patterns and behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices to support emotion regulation. DBT skills teach concrete ways to manage strong feelings and reduce reactivity, while mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rosa collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. Sessions usually start with listening and goal-setting, then move into practicing skills together and trying them between sessions.
