About Rosie

Rosie Pescador is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, mood challenges, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience, she blends practical skills training and evidence-based therapies to support clients as they work toward clearer coping strategies and improved day-to-day functioning. Her style centers on collaboration and strength building, using methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

Rosie draws on psychoeducation, mindfulness, and positive coping tools to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, healthier habits, and improved communication. She emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic approach that aims to empower clients to set and reach meaningful goals.

Rosie has worked across a range of concerns including depression, eating and body-image issues, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting, and compassion fatigue. Bilingual in English and Spanish, she offers multiple session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and preferences.

Prospective clients can begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to her availability.

Integrating evidence-based methods into online care

Rosie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy when working with clients online. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through structured exercises and practical homework, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and resolving the effects of traumatic experiences while teaching strategies to reduce reactivity and improve emotional safety.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together. The therapist collaborates with each client to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting tools and pacing as progress unfolds to ensure a good fit.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities, and use communication modes that feel most comfortable for practicing skills and staying connected between appointments.
