About Socorro

Socorro Dennis is a licensed social worker in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges. She speaks plainly and offers respectful, compassionate support for someone ready to try a different path. Socorro frames the first visit as a chance to be heard and to build a practical plan together.

She uses a flexible style that adapts to each person's needs. Sessions begin by learning what matters most to the client and which everyday habits are getting in the way. From there she and the client set clear goals and try simple, doable steps between meetings to notice real change.

Socorro draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make space for the client's experience and priorities. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change routine responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be used to teach ways to manage strong emotions and stress without making problems worse.

With seven years of experience and the LICSW and LCSW credentials, she brings steady support without judgment. Her approach is practical and collaborative, focusing on what a person can do now to feel a little better and build momentum.

People often seek her out for help with relationships, grief, trauma, workplace strain, and healing after sexual assault or abuse. She also offers coaching-style guidance for career decisions and life transitions. The work is paced to fit what each person can manage.

How her approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and letting the client's priorities guide each session. This approach helps people feel understood and steers conversations toward goals that matter to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers straightforward exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors for issues like anxiety, depression, and anger.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for regulating strong emotions, handling crisis moments, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be useful when anger or stress feels overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between appointments. Because the specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. The aim is to create sessions that match everyday life, whether someone needs shorter check-ins, tools to practice at home, or steady weekly meetings.
