Rosette Schapira

Rosette Schapira is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience helping people work through strong emotions. She speaks English and Hebrew and sees people in California. She aims to make therapy a practical place to talk about anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Rosette listens for what matters most to each person. She helps people name feelings like anger or sadness and looks at the beliefs that keep those feelings stuck. Conversations focus on ways to reduce anxiety, lift low mood, and rebuild self-esteem so clients can move toward the life they want.

Sessions can look at relationships and parenting concerns in addition to individual struggles. Rosette offers counseling for issues such as grief, addiction, intimacy concerns, career stress, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports LGBT clients who want a respectful space to talk about identity and relationships.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She works collaboratively, helping people set clear goals and try realistic steps between sessions. Over time clients learn new ways to manage stress and handle conflicts with less fear and reactivity.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online help

Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on understanding and changing patterns of thought and feeling. Cognitive-style techniques help people identify negative thinking and try alternative perspectives; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Skills-based strategies teach stress management, emotion regulation, and practical steps to respond to anger in healthier ways.

Another helpful direction emphasizes recognizing and expressing feelings safely. This approach supports people in naming anger, grief, or shame and learning how those emotions affect behavior and relationships. It can be useful for intimacy issues, low self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress happens. Clients are invited to give feedback about what helps and what does not so the therapy stays focused and useful.

Practical benefits of working online should be confirmed before booking, since session format options are not specified here. Ask about which session formats are available when you schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still providing time to practice skills and discuss difficulties with a licensed professional.
