About Rosemary
Rosemary Cabanillas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She works in both English and Spanish and brings six years of social work experience to her practice. Rosemary focuses on practical help for parents and individuals coping with stress and life change.
She draws on straightforward methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and brief solution-focused work. Sessions center on identifying small, manageable shifts that ease day-to-day pressure.
Background and approach
Rosemary aims to help people build confidence, sleep better, and lower anxiety with clear steps they can try between meetings. Her background includes years of practice in New York neighborhoods with diverse communities. That experience informs a respectful, open approach that pays attention to cultural differences and everyday realities.
Rosemary listens for what is most urgent to each person and adapts support to their needs. In sessions she helps people navigate grief, relationship strain, anger, and career transitions. She also supports those facing trauma, parenting stress, intimacy-related concerns, and low self-esteem.
Conversations tend to be practical, focused, and goal-oriented, while still allowing space for feelings. Rosemary prefers working with clear short-term goals when appropriate, while also making room for deeper work when needed. She encourages clients to take the first step and try approaches that feel manageable.
With an emphasis on doable strategies, she helps people move toward better daily functioning and greater confidence.

Approaches that fit real parenting challenges and busy lives
Rosemary commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and parenting-related stress by turning worries into concrete behavior changes and experiments.She also applies brief solution-focused techniques that zero in on what is already working and expand those strengths. This approach is helpful for parents and professionals who want targeted steps and quicker relief from specific problems like sleep disruption or overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosemary collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and current life demands. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan when something does not fit or new needs surface.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people use face-to-face time for skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when a written moment helps process feelings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy parenting schedule and to maintain momentum between meetings.
