Getting to know Rocio Velasco

My name is Rocio Velasco, LCSW. I am passionate about my work with individuals and families. I believe that building trust between therapist and client is the foundation of effective therapy. My approach is to support you in achieving your goals and working toward living the life you desire. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield. My approach I have experience utilizing therapeutic approaches such as CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, and solution-focused therapy. My focus I work with trauma, medical issues and chronic pain, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, gender identity and transition, foster youth, and parenting and caregiver stress. My communication style I provide a warm, empathetic environment in sessions that allows clients to express themselves freely and feel heard and respected. My journey to therapy I was first drawn to this work when I realized how empowering therapy could be for individuals who had experienced trauma and loss during my volunteer work. My drive is to help others find freedom from burdens that keep them from living their best life. My goals for you I like to set goals at the start of therapy and review them frequently throughout our journey to see if they need to be revised. My first session with you In our first session, I like for us to get to know each other, answer any questions you have, and discuss how we will work together to achieve your goals.
