About Rose
Rose Rizzo is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts. She focuses on anxiety and stress and helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, relationships, or work pressures. Rose uses straightforward, practical steps so clients can start making small changes right away.
Rose brings three years of clinical experience and uses a nonjudgmental, strength-based approach. She listens first and helps people identify what is already working in their lives.
Background and approach
From there she and the client set short-term goals and practical steps to move forward. Her work commonly includes cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and mindfulness techniques to reduce immediate stress. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are added when someone wants help clarifying goals or making a change.
Sessions often include worksheets, goal-setting, and between-session support by messaging. Rose has experience with substance use, family conflict, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and other common struggles such as depression and self-esteem concerns. She also lists additional focus areas like aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum depression, and life purpose.
Therapy with Rose can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She conducts sessions in English and works with people located in Massachusetts. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and their priorities; the therapist listens closely and helps you set goals that feel meaningful. This approach helps when someone needs validation, clearer direction, or a place to talk things through.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete exercises and worksheets to practice between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce immediate stress and improve focus. These techniques pair well with CBT when someone wants tools to calm the body and notice thoughts without acting on them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rose will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean combining methods, trying short experiments, and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation and use screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, symptom tracking, or staying on track between longer sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
