Getting to know Socorro Dennis

Hi there, I'm Socorro! Hello, my name is Socorro "Cora" Dennis, and I am a Florida-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned my Master’s in Social Work from The Catholic University of America. I work with clients statewide via telehealth, specializing in adults (18 and up) dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, and addiction. I use client-centered and strength-based approaches, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach My therapy approach varies based on each client’s needs. I utilize client-centered and strength-based practices to help clients explore and understand their experiences while incorporating CBT and DBT. These modalities help us build a shared understanding of their reality and work together to chart a path forward. My focus As a veteran, African American woman, and member of the LGBTQ+ community, my style, approach, and experiences make me relatable to adults from various walks of life facing life’s transitions and pressures. I help clients process and navigate these periods, obtain tools to manage and cope, and develop a more positive outlook. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on listening without judgment. I use compassion, empathy, and validation for all clients. I also work closely with clients to reframe experiences to reduce distress and promote empowerment and gratitude. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people—whether as a career counselor in my command, a victim advocate for sexual assault, or a community volunteer.
