Socorro Dennis

Socorro Dennis is a licensed clinician who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers respectful, compassionate support as clients take the first steps toward change. Socorro aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs and goals.

With seven years of experience and licenses as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), she draws on practical methods to address everyday struggles. Her work includes support for relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, workplace stress, and issues related to identity and sexual assault.

Socorro uses approaches that focus on the person in front of her. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way, practice new coping skills, and build confidence to handle difficult moments. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, manageable steps that fit into daily life.

She also supports people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, seasonal mood changes, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. Additional areas of focus include blended family concerns, codependency, commitment issues, and veteran and armed forces issues.

Her style is direct but kind, and she encourages clients to set the pace. Socorro helps people weigh options, experiment with new behaviors, and track progress over time. If someone wants to start, she supports them through the initial matching and scheduling process.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building trust and working through life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing small changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers practical tools for emotion regulation, tolerating distress, and communicating more clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach first and adjusting over time based on what helps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Therapists can help plan session length and scheduling to match daily routines and responsibilities.
