About Rocio
Rocio Samaniego is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas and New Mexico with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, anger, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Rocio centers conversations on the client’s own experience and strengths. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and helps them notice what already works. Sessions are practical and focused on small, manageable steps that fit daily life.
She uses Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and reframe them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when strong emotions and coping are central concerns. For relationship topics, she draws on Gottman and Imago approaches to improve communication and understanding.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across community and clinical settings. That experience informs straightforward tools for stress management, mood regulation, and communication skills. Rocio often helps people working through control issues, codependency, divorce and separation, and isolation.
People who see her typically work on clear goals like improving self-esteem, reducing anxiety, managing anger, or coping with major life transitions. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How Rocio uses approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can better understand their own thoughts and feelings. It helps when someone needs consistent, respectful feedback and a chance to clarify their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thought patterns. People often use CBT for anxiety, low mood, and problems that repeat in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes specific skills for managing intense emotions, reducing reactivity, and improving distress tolerance. DBT skills can be useful for people who want concrete tools to regulate mood and behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rocio discusses goals and preferences with each client and together they choose which methods to try. She adjusts strategies as needs and progress become clearer, treating the process as collaborative.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins that work around work or family commitments. Licensed professionals can use online work to practice the same skill-building and communication exercises they use in person, helping clients apply them to everyday situations.
