Socorro is a licensed independent clinical social worker and a licensed clinical social worker, and she draws on seven years of practice in Florida.
She concentrates on stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges tied to addiction and anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, workplace strain, and identity concerns including LGBT issues.
How Socorro works
Sessions often cover coping with life changes, building self-esteem, and managing difficult emotions. Socorro uses a client-centered stance that puts the person’s goals first. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to help spot and change unhelpful thoughts.
Dialectical behavior approaches add skills for emotion regulation and managing intense feelings. In sessions she listens with respect and adapts the conversation to what each person needs. Expect clear suggestions, skill practice, and check-ins about what is or isn’t working.
She frames therapy as a collaborative effort rather than a one-way process. Socorro practices in Florida and conducts work in English. Her background and methods aim to make therapy understandable and usable, so people can leave sessions with concrete tools and a plan for the next steps.

Online support options
How her approaches guide online therapy
Socorro blends client-centered work with concrete skills so sessions focus on what matters to the person. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on each person’s priorities and life experience, letting goals and pace guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Choosing which approach to use is part of the therapy process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which strategies to try first. The plan can change as needs evolve, and progress is reviewed in regular check-ins. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a daily routine. Video allows face-to-face conversation when a longer session or visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quicker option for a scheduled check-in. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief updates, skill practice, or people who prefer writing. These options increase flexibility so people can access therapy in ways that match their schedules and comfort.Start online instead of waiting
