About Rosa

Rosa Ogas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and regularly supports clients from multicultural backgrounds.

Rosa uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that make stress or anger worse.

Her work includes skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. She also uses motivational interviewing when people are deciding whether to change habits around substances, routines, or relationships. Sessions focus on short, usable tools and steady practice rather than abstract theories.

Rosa has supported clients across a wide range of life challenges, including trauma and abuse, grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, ADHD, and issues around adoption or abandonment. She aims to help people build practical coping skills, improve communication, and manage feelings that interfere with daily life.

People who choose her often want straightforward help with anger, impulse control, or the stress of parenting. She combines listening with concrete skills so clients can try new strategies between sessions and see what helps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Rosa blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when working online. Client-centered work focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the person, and shaping goals from their priorities. CBT helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that feed stress or anger and then test new ways of thinking and acting. DBT skills teach concrete techniques for tolerating distress, regulating intense emotions, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right mix is part of the process. Rosa will work together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals, daily life, and how they respond in early sessions. That collaborative decision helps make sessions more practical and easier to use between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible for English and Spanish speakers outside California to connect, while scheduling that respects time zones and life demands.
