About Rosie
Rosie Pescador is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and related concerns like sleep problems, eating issues, and relationship strain. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Rosie draws on a mix of client-centered work and structured skills training. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help people notice patterns, test unhelpful thoughts, and practice new coping strategies. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting current reactions.
In practical terms she teaches simple skills you can use day to day. That includes breathing and grounding, mood tracking, and short behavioral experiments to test what helps. She also uses psychoeducation so people understand how stress and mood influence behavior.
Rosie has experience with crisis intervention, mood disorders, and grief, and she supports people managing parenting stress, communication problems, and life transitions. Her work often includes tools for tolerance of strong feelings and improving sleep and self-care routines.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood; online sessions can still offer that kind of conversational work and space to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it works well with homework like mood tracking and short behavioral experiments that people can do between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interactions; those skills can be practiced in session and applied to everyday situations. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rosie will work with the client to decide which mix of listening, skills practice, and trauma-focused techniques fits their needs and goals. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions practical and focused on what the person wants to change. Confirm the available session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online work often include easier fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and the ability to do skills practice without traveling. Ask about which session formats are offered so you can choose what fits your schedule and needs.Areas of focus
