About Shannon
Shannon Salgado is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She offers warm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship troubles, family conflict, and trauma. Shannon centers therapy on the person's own strengths and goals.
Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than long explanations. She listens first, then helps clients try new ways of communicating and coping that fit their life.
Background and approach
Her work addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also helps people clarifying life purpose, rebuilding self-love, and managing social anxiety and phobia. For those who have experienced trauma, she provides steady, paced support for recovery.
Shannon uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on the Gottman Method to inform relational work and on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support individual change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered practices also shape her sessions.
Clients can expect a collaborative style where the therapist and client set goals together and track progress. Shannon aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to everyday life. She encourages small steps that build confidence over time.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps toward values-based goals. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and problems with motivation. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and practical exercises for improving how partners relate to one another; it is often used when relationship functioning and interaction habits are a concern. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape current behavior and emotions, and it can help people build more supported ways of connecting and responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life situation, and then suggest a blend of methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter, more frequent touchpoint is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones while working with licensed professionals.
