Background and approach
Her practice includes coaching around career changes and life transitions. Socorro draws on client-centered methods to put each person’s priorities first. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives.
Dialectical behavior tools are added when people need skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. With seven years of experience and the credentials LICSW and LCSW, Socorro practices in Florida and speaks English. She tailors conversations and plans to each person, offering a blend of short-term skill work and longer term exploration based on what the person wants.
Her style is calm and direct. Socorro aims to make sessions useful from the start, focusing on small, realistic steps. She encourages people to take the first step and supports them as they try new ways of coping.
How her approaches work online
Client-centered therapy places the person’s concerns and goals at the center of each session. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people shape steps that feel meaningful and doable. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. That approach can help with anxiety, low mood, and problematic habits. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships; these skills are useful when strong reactions get in the way of daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that seem like a good fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video fits deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, coping prompts, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
