About Rose

Rose Fernandez is a Florida-licensed LCSW with 28 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family struggles, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

She combines a compassionate, respectful stance with practical skills to support clients facing grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping difficulties, parenting and career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her approach also extends to complex situations such as abandonment, attachment and blended family issues, chronic illness and caregiving stress, body image, and codependency.

Therapeutic work with Rose is personalized; she adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs and goals. She draws on methods including Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and dialectical skills to help clients build coping tools and clarify values.

Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish and are offered through online formats that accommodate varying schedules. Rose emphasizes collaboration and practical progress while recognizing that beginning therapy is itself an important step toward change.

How Rose’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Internal Family Systems helps people notice and work with different parts of themselves - curious, protective, or wounded parts - to reduce internal conflict and build self-leadership; it can be useful for trauma, complex emotions, and identity struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and practicing acceptance and mindful action to move toward meaningful goals despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic therapeutic relationship that supports insight and self-directed growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Rose works collaboratively to determine what fits best for each client. She will listen to your goals, try approaches that align with your preferences, and adjust methods over time to find practical strategies that support progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage work and family obligations, and access therapy from different locations within Florida.
