About Rocio

Rocio Samaniego is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and major life changes.

Rocio starts from the view that each person knows their story best. She focuses on clients' strengths and helps them use those strengths to move forward. Sessions are meant to be practical and straightforward, with clear steps people can try between meetings.

Her work draws on approaches that include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior ideas. Rocio also uses relationship-focused tools such as the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy when relationship dynamics are part of the concern. She adapts strategies to match what each person needs and wants.

With 17 years in the field, Rocio has worked in settings that shaped her skills supporting people through life transitions, grief, and difficult interpersonal patterns. She emphasizes collaboration and patience during change. Her goal is to empower people to make choices that fit their values and daily lives.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Rocio holds LCSW credentials in Texas and New Mexico and is based in Texas. To begin, people complete a short match questionnaire and schedule according to the listed options.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them build on personal strengths and values. This approach is helpful when someone wants a judgment-free space to sort through what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep people stuck. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors to change mood and daily functioning. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that affects everyday life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It introduces practical tools for coping in the moment and building more stable routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits individual needs and comfort levels.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to virtual formats, helping people apply skills and track progress between appointments.
