About Rosa
Rosa Santiago helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma or abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with four years of experience. Rosa speaks English and Spanish.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Rosa frames the person as the expert in their own story. She focuses on building on strengths and small steps that lead to change.
How Rosa works
Her work pays attention to practical routines and ways to feel steadier day to day. She aims to make the first appointments feel clear and manageable. Her practice also includes concerns connected to adoption and foster care, blended family issues, family of origin questions, and family problems.
Rosa has supported people facing first responder stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, infidelity, money and financial issues, women’s issues, and struggles common to young adults. Rosa provides services through telehealth formats. She notes that if someone primarily wants support only through text, she might not be the best fit.
The subscription-style service she uses can be canceled at any time and session cost varies with location and therapist availability. Rosa works in a collaborative manner and helps people set goals they can try between sessions. She encourages straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people move toward a more manageable, satisfying life.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online work
Rosa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes stabilizing daily routines and coping skills to reduce stress and anxiety; it helps people build small habits that make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Another approach centers on processing trauma and difficult experiences through paced conversations and grounding strategies to reduce reactivity and improve self-awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rosa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts strategies as progress happens.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can work well when video is difficult, live chat allows shorter check-ins during a busy day, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into varied routines and to keep momentum between meetings.
