Catherine Rossi , LICSW, LCSW

Catherine Rossi is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW, LCSW) practicing in New Mexico with 20 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, and related concerns, helping them find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Rossi fosters an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed safely and explored thoughtfully. She emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, partnering with clients to set goals and build practical skills that support lasting change. Her approach blends listening, evidence-informed techniques, and compassion to address issues such as parenting and family problems, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and chronic illness or pain.

Both LICSW and LCSW are professional social work licenses that indicate advanced training and authorization to provide clinical services. Catherine Rossi combines that clinical foundation with two decades of practice to guide people toward more fulfilling and balanced lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Catherine Rossi uses approaches that emphasize collaboration, practical skills, and present-moment awareness to help clients address a range of concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a accepting environment and following the client’s lead so individuals can clarify values, increase self-understanding, and build confidence in making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and Catherine collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process is intended to tailor treatment so it feels useful and attainable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care while adapting to each client’s routine and communication style.
