About Donna
Donna San Salvador is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (FL LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, and codependency. She also works with concerns such as intimacy issues, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and difficulties tied to attachment and abandonment.
Donna uses practical, talk-based work that focuses on what a person wants to change. Sessions look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She draws on approaches that help people notice patterns, make small changes, and repair relationship ruptures when needed.
Clients can expect straightforward collaboration. The therapist and client clarify goals, try out strategies, and adjust plans based on what works. Donna emphasizes clear steps that people can use between sessions to test different ways of responding to conflicts, cravings, or upsetting memories.
Her background includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling and 13 years practicing in Florida as an LMHC. That experience includes supporting people through trauma, substance use concerns, blended family questions, and communication problems.
Donna is comfortable addressing topics that are often hard to name, including sexual diversity, kink and BDSM issues, body image, and relationship dynamics that lead to people-pleasing or loss of self. She invites clients to bring concrete examples from daily life so they can practice new ways of setting limits, speaking up, and taking care of themselves.
Before scheduling, prospective clients should confirm current session options and practical details through the booking process.
How sessions work
How Donna’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people feel understood and clarify what they want to change, which can make boundary-setting and codependency work more practical. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and changing people-pleasing patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at interaction patterns in relationships and helps people identify emotions behind conflict and disconnection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Donna will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try methods, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps match techniques to real-life concerns like setting limits, managing cravings, or repairing communication breakdowns.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for check-in conversations during a break. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can be useful when a quick session is needed. Ask about available session types when you schedule so practical arrangements match your day-to-day life.
