About Donna
Donna San Salvador is a licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship struggles. She offers straightforward support for grief, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and identity-related concerns. Her approach is practical and grounded, with an emphasis on understanding each person's story and goals.
Donna works in a way that centers the client. She listens first, then suggests ways to cope that match a client's life and values.
Background and approach
Sessions often include moments to reflect on meaning, skills for handling difficult thoughts, and focused work on emotional patterns that get in the way. Her methods draw on Existential therapy to address questions of meaning and choice, Client-Centered therapy to keep the work focused on the client's needs, and cognitive-behavioral ideas to teach coping tools.
She also brings elements of emotionally-focused and Jungian perspectives when they fit the issue at hand. Donna has helped people with a wide range of concerns including abandonment and attachment wounds, body image, codependency, communication and commitment problems, and the stress that comes with caregiving or blended families.
She also supports people navigating kink and alternative sexual cultures and those coping with domestic violence or substance issues. She holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and is licensed in Florida as an LMHC. Sessions are available in English and can be scheduled through the site's matching and booking process.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Donna often draws on Existential therapy to help people face difficult questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. That approach can be useful for those coping with life changes, grief, or a sense of lost direction. She also uses Client-Centered therapy which emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and understood.Donna pairs those perspectives with cognitive-behavioral ideas to teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and addictive behaviors. Together these approaches let sessions move between understanding what matters most and practicing new ways of thinking and acting. She treats finding the right mix as a collaborative process and will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read body language and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when a lower bandwidth connection is needed or a quicker check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, ongoing support between longer sessions and can help people fit counseling into a busy day.
