About Rosa
Rosa Salja-Mota is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience in Florida. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, anger, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns related to LGBT identity, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and Seasonal Affective Disorder. Rosa offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Rosa uses a client-centered style that focuses on listening first and understanding each person's current concerns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. Her background includes work since 2006 as a bilingual clinician, which informs how she talks about emotions and coping in both English and Spanish.
In sessions she helps people break big problems into smaller, workable steps. That might mean identifying triggers for anger, developing short coping strategies for intense moments, or practicing new ways to communicate about frustration. She uses mindfulness tools to help with staying present and reducing automatic reactions.
Rosa also brings experience supporting people through grief and end-of-life situations. She helps clients balance practical concerns with emotional processing and coping. For those affected by seasonal mood changes she can suggest behavioral adjustments and routines that may help manage symptoms.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect clear explanations of methods and concrete skills to practice between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Rosa blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people who struggle with anger, anxiety, or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding what matters to the person and shaping sessions around their immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify thought patterns and try new behaviors that reduce reactivity and distress.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice physical reactions and pause before acting. These approaches are explained in plain language and practiced together so clients can see which tools feel most useful. Rosa treats finding the right mix as a collaborative process and will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find skills-based work transfers well to remote sessions because homework, breathing exercises, and behavior experiments can be done between meetings and discussed in follow-ups.
