About Rosa
Rosa Salja-Mota uses a client-centered approach as the starting point for her work. She focuses on listening first and learning what matters most to each person. Rosa is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of experience and she speaks English and Spanish.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety and addresses low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing relationship challenges, grief, anger, and the stress of life changes.
How Rosa works
Additional areas of focus include hospice and end-of-life counseling and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Rosa blends practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy with attention to each person’s experience. Sessions often include simple tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help people tolerate strong emotions and build everyday strategies. Her style is warm and direct. She aims to create a judgment-free space where people can name concerns, practice new coping skills, and set small goals.
Rosa emphasizes teamwork between therapist and client during the therapy process. Because she is bilingual, Rosa can offer sessions in English or Spanish. She works with people who are navigating grief, LGBT-related stress, and health-related transitions, and she tailors the pace and techniques to each person’s needs.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Online sessions let the therapist and client explore concerns at a comfortable pace while the therapist follows the client’s lead to set goals and priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches straightforward skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach works well online because tools and short homework exercises can be shared during video or text sessions to practice between meetings.
Rosa will work together with each client to find the best approach for their needs, goals, and preferences. That means choosing from client-centered listening, CBT skills, dialectical behavior strategies, or mindfulness practices as a collaborative decision rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and teaching skills, phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and messaging or live chat can provide brief check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and access licensed professionals across locations.
