Are you having difficulty coping with daily life stressors? Are you feeling stuck in your life? I am glad that you are taking the time to reach out for help. My name is Gloria Rodriguez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida with over 16 years of experience working in the Mental Heath field. I have worked with clients from as young as 5 years old to elderly. I have helped clients with a wide range of challenges including addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, behavioral issues, grief, relationship issues, court dependency cases, and difficulty coping with life changing situations. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional helping many clients who have experienced different types of trauma including domestic violence, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I am excited to meet you and work together to identify your goals and make plans to achieve them.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I feel passionate about helping you overcome your challenges, and to move on with your live in a very compassionate and supportive environment. I believe that developing a good therapeutic relationship is extremely important for you to feel comfortable in being open and honest. I operate from a strength-based approach knowing that you are the experts of your story, and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming your challenges enhancing your live.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am emphatic, good listener, cultural competent, patience, committed, and non judgmental.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an approach for which there is ample scientific evidenced. Psychological problems are based in part, on faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking, or learned patterns of unhelpful behaviors. CBT helps client learn better ways of coping with them. CBT is goal oriented and problem focused. CBT involves collaboration and active participation. I do emphasize what is going on in the person's current life, rather than what has led to their difficulties.

Eclectic

My approach combines Solution Focused, Client Centered, Trauma Focus (T-F CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Exposure Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and strengths based drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Theory.
