Otilia Rowe, LCSW

Otilia Rowe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, intimacy questions, parenting, self-esteem, career matters, and compassion fatigue. She speaks English and Spanish.

Rowe focuses on practical, down-to-earth work. She helps clients break big problems into small, doable steps. Sessions include clear tools for managing stress, improving communication, and handling relationship or family conflict. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and issues around gender and sexuality.

Her style is direct and goal-focused. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and behavioral change. For trauma work she draws on emotionally-focused approaches and EMDR to reduce the hold of painful memories.

Clients can expect straightforward talk about what’s getting in the way and what changes might help. Conversations cover patterns, choices, and small experiments to try between sessions. She blends practical skill-building with attention to how family history and attachment shape current problems.

Rowe works with people who want to keep their ambitions while getting better control over stress and relationships. She notes specific experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, blended family concerns, fertility and fatherhood issues, and kink and alternative sex culture topics. Her bilingual ability supports work in both English and Spanish.
