About Shannon
Shannon Salgado is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship tension, family concerns, and trauma and abuse. Shannon centers the work on each person's strengths and life story.
She encourages small, steady steps toward change and supports people as they try new ways of coping. Shannon often uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early bonds shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She blends that with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviors. She also draws on client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy techniques to create a calm, goal-oriented space for problem solving. In sessions she aims to make things straightforward and useful.
Conversations identify what feels most stuck and then map concrete skills to try between meetings. She helps people build clearer communication, manage shame and guilt, and reduce avoidance that keeps problems alive. Shannon supports work on healing from trauma and reducing the hold of substances or compulsive behaviors.
She also helps with loneliness, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose and self-worth. The focus is on practical change rooted in understanding personal patterns. Her approach is collaborative and respectful.
People who come to her meet a therapist who listens, offers doable strategies, and helps them track progress over time.

Online support
Attachment-informed and skills-focused therapy online
Shannon integrates attachment-based ideas with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting and reacting, which can help with relationship strain and persistent anxiety. ACT emphasizes values and willingness to face difficult thoughts, helping people move toward what matters despite discomfort. CBT breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable steps and offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety and change habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shannon will discuss your goals and preferences and then try methods that fit your situation. She uses a collaborative process to adjust techniques over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between appointments, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones while working with licensed professionals.
