Rosie Pescador

Rosie Pescador is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, eating struggles, parenting strain, and anger. Rosie speaks English and Spanish and draws on 15 years of clinical experience to help clients find practical steps forward.

She prefers a collaborative approach that focuses on building skills people can use day to day. That includes teaching coping skills, mindfulness practices, and brief psychoeducation so clients know what to expect. Sessions aim to be direct and compassionate, with tools that fit into a busy life.

Rosie blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and she uses trauma-focused work when it is needed. She emphasizes strengths, empowerment, and concrete strategies rather than long lists of theory.

Her experience includes crisis intervention and work with mood dysregulation, depression, and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with relationship stress, self-esteem concerns, body image, grief, and life transitions. Clients report working on communication skills, emotion regulation, and healthy routines.

Rosie asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location and availability. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How Rosie Uses CBT and DBT in Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems and set goals. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations toward what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and problems with sleep or eating by breaking issues into manageable tasks.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships and boundaries are a challenge.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose or combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted over time as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to continue work between visits. It lets people join from wherever they are, which can reduce travel time and make short weekly check-ins possible. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be held and how scheduling works.
