About Rosa
Rosa Ogas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and offers a practical, down-to-earth approach for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting and life stress. Rosa focuses on what is happening now and what can be changed.
She uses straightforward strategies to ease anxiety, low mood, and parenting stress. Sessions aim to build small, useful skills that fit into busy days.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centered principles to follow each person's priorities and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness practices help with emotional regulation and staying present during hard moments.
Rosa has worked across diverse community settings and understands cultural and acculturation concerns. She often helps people managing grief, relationship strain, addictions, trauma, caregiving stress, and life transitions. She also supports people with ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and anger management.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can include live conversation or messaging options. Rosa aims to make therapy usable for real life by focusing on clear goals and practical steps people can try between sessions.

Online approaches that meet parents where they are
Rosa often uses Client-Centered Therapy to begin work by listening and shaping the plan around each person's goals and values; this helps parents and busy adults feel heard and involved in decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, provides practical steps to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress without making things worse.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rosa will work with each person to identify what feels most useful, then adjust techniques as goals change. The first sessions typically focus on priorities and testing a few tools to see what fits.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for longer sessions, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching and reminders. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and caregiving routines while keeping therapy practical and goal-oriented.
