About Rosa
Rosa Salja-Mota is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, grief, anger, LGBT issues, and life transitions. Rosa practices in Florida and offers sessions in English and Spanish.
Rosa uses a client-centered approach that focuses on listening and working from the client's current needs. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear in her work for emotion regulation and present-moment awareness.
In sessions she helps people learn coping skills and small practical steps to manage mood and stress. For grief or end-of-life concerns she brings experience in hospice and end-of-life counseling and helps clients talk through difficult feelings and decisions. For seasonal affective disorder she supports routine adjustments and mood-focused strategies.
Rosa aims to work collaboratively on goals, teaching skills such as mindful noticing, grounding, and behavioral experiments drawn from CBT and DBT. She frames therapy as a shared effort to try approaches and see what helps most. Her bilingual ability supports Spanish-speaking clients seeking therapy in Florida and beyond.

How CBT, client-centered work, and DBT skills translate online
Rosa often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods when working with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. CBT offers concrete steps such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs with behavioral experiments, and changing routines to shift mood. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what the client needs in the moment to set practical goals.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques teach short coping practices and grounding exercises that people can use between sessions when emotions spike. Mindfulness practices are used to help notice patterns without judgment and to anchor attention during moments of strong feeling.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques to try based on their goals and day-to-day life. Sessions include reviewing what worked, adjusting strategies, and choosing small experiments to practice.
