About Rocio
Rocio Samaniego is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 17 years of experience to her work. Her approach centers on listening first and building on a person’s strengths.
She treats concerns like low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, loneliness, and life changes. She also supports people facing parenting strain, divorce and separation, and issues tied to control or codependency.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on concrete steps people can use between sessions. Rocio uses practical methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. That means she helps people notice how thoughts and behavior affect feelings, try specific skills, and practice new ways of coping.
She also uses relationship-focused approaches such as the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy when relationship patterns are part of the picture. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and works alongside them to set realistic goals.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and solution-oriented while keeping room to process hard feelings. Rocio holds LCSW credentials in Texas and New Mexico. If someone prefers Spanish, she can carry sessions in that language.
The early session work typically focuses on identifying priorities and choosing practical strategies to try between meetings.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person’s own goals. It helps when someone wants a space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, examines how thoughts and behaviors shape emotions and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can help when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT techniques for worry, adding DBT skills for strong emotions, or using a client-centered stance to support life decisions. Plans are revisited as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or during a quick break. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and skill reminders easier to fit into a busy day. These options help people keep continuity of care and fit therapy into their routine.
