About Ana-Rocío
Dr. Ana-Rocío Escobar-Chew is a Michigan-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 18 years of clinical experience. She works bilingually in English and Spanish. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and depression.
She uses an approach that emphasizes clients' strengths and collaboration. Sessions are grounded in practical goals and respectful conversation. She aims to help people address current challenges and make steady changes that matter in daily life.
In session she blends methods that encourage emotion awareness and clearer communication. She draws on client-centered principles to listen first and help people name what is most important. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used to look at patterns of feeling that keep problems repeating.
She also integrates solution-focused ideas to set short-term, achievable steps. For relationship-related concerns she applies elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce repeating conflicts. Existential therapy informs work about meaning, life transitions, and confronting difficult choices.
Her background includes nearly two decades working with people facing family origin wounds, attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, immigration-related stress, codependency, caregiver strain, and forgiveness work. She also assists people navigating body image, guilt and shame, and coping with major life changes.
People can expect straightforward conversations about goals, options, and next steps. Dr. Escobar-Chew offers services in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients. For scheduling she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Escobar-Chew often combines client-centered listening with Emotionally-Focused Therapy and solution-focused techniques. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting back what a person is experiencing, which helps clarify goals and feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns of emotion and interaction that keep problems repeating and is useful for relationship tension and recurring anger. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps people can try between sessions to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, what has worked before, and which methods feel most useful. That discussion guides how sessions are structured and which techniques are emphasized over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow conversation without travel. It also permits video or audio options when being on camera is not desirable. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they address stress, anger, relationship patterns, and life changes.
