Donna San Salvador, LMHC

Donna San Salvador is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and relationship strain. She also works with people facing addiction, caregiving stress, and issues around intimacy and identity. Donna practices in Florida and offers services in English.

Donna keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She uses client-centered methods that let people set goals and guide the pace. She pairs those with cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and emotionally-focused work to address relationship patterns. Her background includes training in multiple approaches and more than a decade of clinical practice.

In a session she helps clients notice patterns that lead to snapping, resentment, or avoidance. She will talk through what happens in day-to-day life, try small behavior experiments, and practice different responses to heated moments. Sessions can include work on communication, boundary-setting, and managing cravings or compulsive behaviors when addiction is part of the picture.

Donna also supports people dealing with trauma, family-of-origin problems, blended family challenges, and sexual or relationship concerns such as BDSM and alternative sex culture. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues that fuel recurring anger or control struggles.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
