About Rossana
Rossana Mendez Cole is a licensed clinical social worker who speaks English and Spanish. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and ADHD. Her style is direct and practical, and she aims to make sessions feel manageable for busy lives.
She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support shifts in motivation and small steps toward goals.
Background and approach
Sessions typically include setting clear goals and trying out strategies between meetings. Rossana has worked in homes, schools, clinics, and agencies. That variety shaped how she adapts sessions to fit each person’s daily routine and responsibilities.
She brings three years of clinical experience as a LICSW and LCSW licensed in Florida and Rhode Island. People who prefer working in English or Spanish can meet with her in either language. Rossana will listen to what matters most, then build a plan that matches the person’s needs and pace.
She emphasizes practical plans that clients can use between appointments. Her approach suits those who want straightforward tools, steady support through life changes, and help managing mood or attention challenges. She works with individuals on concerns like relationships, parenting stress, workplace strain, and grief, tailoring sessions to real-world demands.
How Rossana uses practical approaches in online sessions
Rossana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that make stress or low mood worse, then practice small behavior changes that can ease symptoms. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck, focusing on the person’s own reasons for change and small first steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rossana will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress or challenges arise so the approach stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video helps with face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging can be useful for brief updates or between-session support. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities.
