About Rosa
Rosa Ogas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 17 years of practice. She works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and parenting concerns. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and reports experience across multicultural communities.
Rosa uses straightforward, skills-based methods. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She also draws on mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing to help people manage impulses and strong emotions.
In sessions she focuses on practical tools. That can mean learning breathing and grounding techniques, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, or trying new ways to respond in tense moments. She aims to help people reduce reactive responses and build healthier routines for everyday stressors.
Her background includes work in multiple social work settings with diverse populations. She notes experience with acculturation and family system issues, adoption and foster care, grief and end-of-life concerns, and caregiving stress. She has supported people facing trauma and co-occurring challenges including addiction and chronic illness.
Rosa frames therapy around strengths and skill building. She helps people develop coping tools they can use between sessions. She also collaborates on goals for mood, relationships, parenting stress, and career-related strain.
To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and she accepts international clients.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rosa commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective so goals can be set together. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong reactions like anger are part of the concern. DBT exercises include step-by-step skills practice for handling intense feelings and improving interpersonal interactions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Rosa will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and choosing the mix of strategies that feels most useful.
Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify exact options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills in real time between responsibilities. Licensed professionals often shape session length and rhythm to match everyday life, helping people practice new responses to anger and stress without large scheduling hurdles.
