About Rosa

Rosa Ogas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of professional experience offering practical, strengths-based therapy. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered principles to help people identify unhelpful patterns and develop concrete coping tools for everyday challenges.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes skill-building and collaborative problem solving to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, grief, and trauma. Rosa brings multicultural awareness and bilingual fluency in English and Spanish to her work, and she has experience supporting issues that emerge from acculturation, family system strains, and communication difficulties.

She also works with a broad range of life stressors including parenting struggles, relationship and family problems, ADHD, career transitions, chronic illness and caregiving strain. Rosa frames treatment around the client’s strengths and priorities, using mindfulness and dialectical behavior strategies when helpful to enhance emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Based in California, she approaches each case with practical interventions and empathic listening, helping clients build sustainable routines and skills. Prospective clients who prefer flexible, skill-focused therapy and bilingual care can consider her practice when looking for support with coping, behavior change, and recovery from difficult life events.

Therapy Approaches and Online Access

Rosa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and to practice concrete skills that change daily patterns. She also draws on client-centered therapy, providing empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients shape the pace and focus of work. In some cases she integrates dialectical behavior therapy strategies to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when strong emotions or impulsivity are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be guided by goals, personal preferences, and the challenges a client brings. She works collaboratively to tailor interventions and may combine techniques over time so treatment fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Rosa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, continue care across locations, and practice skills between sessions using written or real-time contact methods.
