Monica Sosa, LCSW

Monica Sosa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, parenting challenges, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and depression.

Monica draws on practical, evidence-based methods in session. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills, EMDR strategies for trauma, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing when those methods fit the situation.

Clients can expect a direct, respectful approach that focuses on real-life problems. Monica helps with parenting strategies rooted in positive and attachment-informed ideas. She works with issues that come from adoption and foster care, family conflict, grief, shame, impulsivity, and mood regulation concerns such as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in Family Studies and a master’s degree in Social Work. Monica’s practice centers on helping people manage emotions, cope with life changes, and reduce the impact of past trauma on daily life.

She offers straightforward steps in therapy - identifying goals, trying skills between sessions, and adjusting approaches as needed. People who want practical tools and clear discussion about parenting, stress, mood, or trauma often find this approach useful.
