01 · Who Rocio works with

02 · In Rocio's own words

What Rocio says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina. I have extensive experience in private practice working with a wide range of client issues including life transitions, grief, relationship difficulties, career issues, anxiety, and depression to name a few. I have also worked with people who have experienced abuse and trauma. Prior to acquiring my degree in social work, I worked for many years with the migrant population in North Carolina.

My counseling approach is centered around building a respectful and safe therapeutic relationship, while meeting the client where they are in their journey. I strongly believe in treating my clients with compassion and sensitivity. I stay away from using stigmatizing labels. I use a variety of approaches including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and client centered therapy. I will tailor treatment plans to your unique individual needs.

I look forward to meeting you and working with you!

03 · How Rocio works

The 3 approaches Rocio lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Rocio lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Rocio's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Rocio runs a session.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Reads present-day relationship difficulty through the lens of how safety and closeness were learned early on. The therapeutic relationship itself is treated as part of the work, because it is where the pattern tends to show up first.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Works on the assumption that current patterns - in relationships, at work, in how you treat yourself - have a history, and that seeing the history loosens the pattern. Less structured than CBT, usually longer, and more interested in what comes up unbidden than in a weekly agenda.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Rocio practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Rocio's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Rocio at this point.

2. Naming Rocio specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Rocio is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Rocio.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Rocio

Built from what Rocio actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Rocio's - Rocio has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Rocio's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Rocio. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
