About Rosa
Rosa Santiago is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and big life transitions. She approaches her work with the belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the room. Rosa speaks English and Spanish and offers telehealth sessions so people can connect from different locations.
Her style is supportive and practical. She focuses on building confidence and motivation through steady, goal-focused conversations. Rosa encourages small, manageable steps so change feels doable rather than overwhelming.
Rosa has four years of professional experience and aims to empower people as they move toward a more fulfilling life. She also works with concerns that often tie into adoption and foster care, blended family issues, family of origin challenges, and relationship stress like infidelity. Other areas she supports include first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, money and financial worries, women's issues, and young adult concerns.
Sessions are provided by telehealth with limited support available through text messaging. If ongoing text-based support is the main need, she may not be the best match. Rosa explains options and expectations early so people can choose what fits their situation.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability. The process is straightforward and aimed at getting people started without extra steps.
How evidence-based approaches fit into telehealth
Rosa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One approach emphasizes building coping skills and stress management through step-by-step strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on processing trauma and abuse by helping people make sense of difficult experiences and develop safer ways of responding to triggers.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rosa works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, adjust as needed, and focus on what moves the client toward clearer thinking and more confidence.
Sessions are delivered via telehealth, with some limited support available through text messaging, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain consistent work on goals between appointments. Rosa will discuss how telehealth can work in your situation and help plan a format that matches your needs.
