Rocio Samaniego is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Texas. Rocio emphasizes the client’s own knowledge of their life and brings a supportive presence as people explore change.
She centers sessions on practical steps and everyday language. Rocio listens for strengths and builds on what already works for each person. She encourages small, doable changes that can reduce anxiety and lift confidence over time.
Rocio uses a mix of approaches to match the person’s needs. She draws from client-centered work to create a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to notice thoughts and test whether they help or hurt the healing process.
For relationship concerns she weaves elements from the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to improve communication and mutual understanding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when emotional regulation and coping strategies are a priority.
She frames therapy as a collaboration where the client guides goals and pace. Rocio supports people through life transitions, coping with anger, issues around codependency and communication, and recovery from trauma or abuse. Her goal is to help people move toward greater self-love, clearer purpose, and more satisfying relationships.
How Rocio’s approaches translate to online work
Rocio draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening space where the person’s priorities lead the work. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady guide while sorting through emotions and choices.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, low self esteem, and mood concerns because it lays out clear steps people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rocio collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She checks in about progress and adjusts the plan as needs change so the therapy stays practical and focused.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people connect from different parts of Texas without changing providers, but please verify which session types are offered when you schedule.
