About Rosemary

Rosemary Cabanillas is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She brings six years of experience and a background supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, career transitions, and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and uses practical techniques to help clients find relief and build confidence.

She trained and practiced in diverse New York neighborhoods, which shaped her comfort working with people from different backgrounds.

Background and approach

Rosemary favors straightforward therapy that focuses on immediate problems and realistic changes. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify helpful thoughts and small steps forward. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals.

Rosemary helps clients break issues into manageable parts and try concrete strategies between meetings. She pays attention to how life changes - for example job shifts or family stress - affect mood and daily routines. Her approach is direct and collaborative.

She listens first, then helps set short-term goals and practical tasks to practice outside sessions. Progress is tracked through small, measurable steps rather than abstract promises. Rosemary accepts clients through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Fees vary with location and therapist availability, and services are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Rosemary often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by giving clear tools to practice between sessions.

She also uses Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows in on goals and small changes that can produce quick improvements. This approach is useful when you want practical steps and short-term progress rather than long, open-ended treatment.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together. The therapist will review your needs, try approaches that suit your goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist collaborate to pick methods that fit personal preferences and life demands.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or busy days. Remote formats also allow follow-up between sessions through brief messages or chat, so progress can continue outside scheduled meetings.
