About Ana-Rocío
Dr. Ana-Rocío Escobar-Chew is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who works in both English and Spanish. She has 18 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Her approach centers on collaboration and practical steps to help people move toward their goals. She uses a strength-based stance that builds on what each person already brings. Sessions focus on understanding immediate concerns and trying small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at reducing worry and improving day-to-day functioning. Her background includes extensive work with relationship and family-related concerns such as communication problems, blended family issues, adoption and foster care challenges, and attachment difficulties. She also supports people facing grief, parenting stress, body image worries, and immigration-related strain.
Dr. Escobar-Chew draws on several therapy methods that emphasize emotion, practical solutions, and relational patterns. She often combines client-centered listening with approaches that help partners reconnect and solve specific problems.
This mix lets her tailor sessions to what a person needs in that moment. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People who are navigating life changes, coping with anger or depression, or seeking help with intimacy-related issues can expect clear next steps and ongoing collaboration.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it supports those coping with anxiety, stress, and life changes by following what matters most to the person. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that affect relationships; it is useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and repairing connection. The Gottman Method provides structured tools for improving communication and resolving recurring conflicts, which can help partners improve trust and day-to-day interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can include checking how a technique felt, adjusting the plan, and focusing on what shows progress for that individual.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist see nonverbal cues and work deeply through emotional material. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain consistency over time.
