About Rosa
Rosa Ogas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, anger, career changes, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Rosa provides services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Rosa practices using approaches that include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she focuses on practical tools people can use at home and at work. That includes skills for managing strong emotions, strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and brief mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.
Her background spans multiple social work settings and a range of community contexts. She has worked across multicultural environments and describes herself as bicultural, with experience addressing acculturation and family systems concerns. Rosa notes work with issues such as self-injury, post-traumatic stress reactions, impulse control, and parenting stress.
People who meet with Rosa can expect a strengths-based, problem-focused style. She helps clients identify small, workable steps and practices to manage day-to-day demands. Sessions aim to build skills for coping with pain, relationship strain, and life transitions.
Rosa emphasizes concrete strategies over theory. She uses clear, concrete language and short exercises in session. Her bilingual ability supports Spanish-speaking clients seeking therapy in that language.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. It prioritizes listening, reflecting concerns back, and helping clients set their own goals. This approach suits people who want practical, person-focused support for everyday stresses and relationship problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Rosa uses CBT to break down problems into manageable skills - for example, changing unhelpful thinking patterns or building step-by-step plans to reduce avoidance. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change goals.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, supplies concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In sessions she teaches skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful attention that people can practice between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosa will talk with each person about their goals, daily demands, and preferences, and then recommend which methods to try first. The plan can change over time based on what proves most useful.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. The practical advantage of online work is being able to fit sessions into busy schedules - shorter check-ins around a work break, meetings from a quieter room, or avoiding travel time to an office. Discuss scheduling and format preferences when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions align with everyday life.
