Rocio Samaniego, LCSW

Rocio Samaniego, LCSW, helps people manage stress and anxiety and navigate life changes. She draws on 17 years of clinical experience to offer steady support when worry, low mood, or relationship strains feel overwhelming. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to help people build practical skills and regain a sense of control.

Rocio takes a straightforward, respectful approach. She treats each person as the expert on their story and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she listens closely, asks clear questions, and offers tools people can try between meetings.

Her work often focuses on immediate concerns like panic, persistent worry, low motivation, and mood changes. She also addresses relationship issues, communication problems, parenting stress, and recovery after trauma or abuse. She uses several therapy methods to match what each person needs.

Rocio is licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and New Mexico. She brings nearly two decades of practice to sessions, including helping people with codependency, control issues, divorce and separation, and isolation or loneliness. Her style is practical and collaborative, with attention to what will help most in day-to-day life.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Rocio uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and build on their strengths. This approach emphasizes listening, respect, and helping people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, handling conflict, and improving day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Rocio works together with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few tools, keeping what helps, and adjusting what doesn’t. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels doable for the client.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue sessions during life transitions. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, will discuss how to shape sessions so they match your routine and goals.
