Background and approach

Rossana holds a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, and she practices in Florida. She has three years of experience working in homes, schools, clinics, and agencies. That variety shapes a flexible and practical style in session.

Her work covers a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, anger, bipolar and depression, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, multicultural concerns, and workplace stress. Rossana draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people make changes that fit their life.

She aims to support clients as they set realistic goals and practice new skills between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to meet different needs.

Using CBT and Motivational Interviewing Online

Rossana often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT usually involves practical exercises and homework that can be done between sessions to build new skills.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to strengthen motivation. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about starting a new habit or coping strategy.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then decide collaboratively which techniques to try. That way sessions stay focused on what the client wants to accomplish.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video sessions work well for longer conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between longer appointments or fit brief support into a busy day.
