Rosette Schapira is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people who feel stuck by low mood, worry, or relationship strain. She listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on goals like reducing anxiety, lifting depression, and rebuilding self esteem. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.
Rosette believes emotions matter and that holding things in can make problems grow. In sessions she helps clients put words to their feelings - anger, fear, sadness, and even joy - and look at the beliefs that keep those feelings active. That process often leads to clearer thinking and better choices in relationships and work.
She offers individual counseling and relationship counseling to people who want more balance and compassion in their lives. Conversations are guided by the client’s priorities, with tools introduced as they fit the situation. Repairing self esteem is a common focus so people can pursue goals they previously felt blocked from.
With 20 years of experience, Rosette brings steady clinical experience to conversations about parenting stress, career shifts, addiction concerns, grief, intimacy issues, and ADHD-related struggles. She works in English and Hebrew and practices in California as a CA LMFT.
Rosette asks people to start by thinking about what they most want to change. From there she helps set small, achievable steps toward healthier routines, clearer relationships, and more confidence in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches and online work fit together
Rosette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding emotions and changing unhelpful beliefs. One approach helps people identify and label emotions so those feelings stop driving unwanted behavior; this is useful for depression, anxiety, and anger. Another common approach looks at the thoughts and beliefs that keep problems going and introduces simple behavioral steps to try new ways of acting; this helps with low self esteem, coping with life changes, and managing stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rosette listens to each person’s goals and preferences, explains options in plain language, and together they decide which techniques to try. She adjusts methods based on what is helping and what feels doable for the person in real life.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work and family, fewer travel demands, and the ability to maintain continuity when life is busy.
