About Rosa
Rosa Winter is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience. She approaches sessions with warmth and directness, helping people who feel stuck by listening, asking practical questions, and building on what already works in their lives. Rosa believes clients know their own stories and strengths.
She uses that starting point to help people make small, useful changes. That can mean improving communication, coping with a life transition, or finding steadier moods day to day.
Background and approach
Her work often focuses on relationships, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Rosa also addresses issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, money worries, and feelings of isolation or guilt. She frames difficulties as problems to be worked on, not as fixed labels.
Rosa draws from several practical approaches. She leans on client-centered ideas to center the client's priorities, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and brings mindfulness and DBT skills when emotions run high. She explains tools in simple terms and practices them together with clients.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are adapted to each person's goals. Rosa guides each person toward clearer choices, steadier routines, and more effective ways of handling conflict and stress. The aim is to help clients feel more capable and grounded as they move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rosa commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths, with the therapist guiding conversations and offering reflective listening to help clarify next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve everyday routines.She also brings in dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - skills when intense emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way. DBT offers tools for managing strong feelings, improving distress tolerance, and improving communication under pressure. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process in sessions, and Rosa helps clients try techniques to see what fits their needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients choose whether to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these formats to practice skills together, review homework, and maintain momentum between meetings.
