She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping clients sort through immediate problems and figure out practical next steps.

Rose is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with eight years of clinical experience and more than 15 years as a life and career coach.
Background and approach
She has supported people facing trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, body image and eating-related issues, and a range of mood and coping difficulties. She also works with those dealing with adoption and foster care, abandonment, caregiver stress, and attachment questions.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches, drawing on cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and move toward them, and attachment-informed perspectives to understand relationship patterns. She tailors conversations and plans to meet each person's needs and goals. Clients can expect practical tools alongside space to tell their story.
Rose emphasizes collaboration and pacing that fits the person's readiness. She explains options, practices skills in session, and names small experiments to try between meetings. Rose offers online options for people in different places, and she communicates in English.

Approaches and how they work online
Rose uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand patterns in relationships and to practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rose will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and realistic for the person’s life.
Online therapy with Rose is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep work on progress between live meetings.
