About Rosa
Rosa Winter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing relationship stress, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Rosa also addresses concerns like forgiveness, guilt and shame, caregiver stress, and loneliness.
Rosa approaches therapy from a client-centered stance. She treats the person as the expert on their life and works alongside them to identify strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on understanding patterns that keep guilt or shame active.
She blends cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance strategies. Mindfulness and existential ideas are woven in to help people clarify values and what matters to them now.
Rosa keeps language straightforward in sessions. Conversations often explore how early experiences, family expectations, or cultural background influence present feelings. People who bring concerns about money, control, or post-traumatic stress can address those alongside relationship and parenting goals.
Rosa offers therapy in English and Spanish and practices in California. The emphasis is on clear, manageable steps and on working collaboratively so clients can test different approaches and notice what helps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rosa often uses client-centered principles online, which means sessions focus on the client's goals and on listening closely to how they describe their concerns. This approach helps people shape therapy around what matters most to them and to test ideas between meetings.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques in sessions to identify thought patterns and try practical behavior changes. CBT tools can be taught in short, concrete steps that clients can practice during the week to reduce rumination or self-critical thinking.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are another component she brings in for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Learning a few DBT strategies can help when strong feelings or impulsivity get in the way of relationships or parenting tasks.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Rosa will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their problems, goals, and preferences. She helps people try a method and adjust based on what feels helpful.
