About Rosa
Rosa Ogas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 17 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and a wide range of life challenges. She conducts sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Rosa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered methods and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and motivational interviewing when that fits a person's goals. In sessions she focuses on concrete tools rather than abstract talk so clients can practice new habits between meetings.
Her background spans many social work settings and multicultural communities. That experience informs her work with issues related to acculturation, family systems, and caregiving stress. Rosa has supported people through trauma and grief, as well as challenges like addiction, chronic illness, and relationship problems.
She often helps people build practical coping strategies for anger, impulse control, and compassion fatigue. Parents can expect direct guidance on parenting concerns and communication problems. Rosa emphasizes skill building so people leave sessions with steps to try during the week.
People looking for therapy can expect straightforward, skills-focused sessions that combine thought-focused CBT techniques with supportive client-centered conversation. Her bilingual ability in English and Spanish is used to address language and cultural aspects of care.
How Rosa combines structured approaches in online sessions
Rosa works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions are practical and often include small experiments and homework to test new responses to stress, anxiety, or low mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities and to listen for what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when emotion regulation, impulse control, or interpersonal effectiveness is a concern; these skills are taught in simple, step-by-step ways that can be practiced between meetings.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Rosa will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and Rosa refine which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
