About Rocio
Rocio Samaniego is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and New Mexico with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, depression, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, and life changes.
She focuses on practical, observable changes rather than abstract talk. Sessions include clear goals and steps to try between meetings. She emphasizes clients' own strengths and choices when deciding what to try next.
Rocio uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. For relationship concerns she draws on Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy ideas to improve communication and repair patterns.
Her work is straightforward and task-focused. People can expect to discuss situations, identify thinking or behavior patterns, and practice small experiments to test new ways of responding. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needed.
Rocio offers services in English and Spanish and practices in Texas under her LCSW credentials. She aims to help people build coping skills for everyday stressors and to address deeper issues like trauma or long-standing mood concerns.
How Rocio uses structured approaches in online work
Rocio draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of reacting. CBT is practical and focused on changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's concerns and priorities, allowing sessions to focus on what matters most to the person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.
Figuring out which approach to use is a collaborative process. Rocio will review goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods based on what is working. Clients and the therapist decide together which skills or strategies to emphasize.
