About Rossana

Rossana Mendez Cole is a bilingual licensed clinical social worker who supports adults managing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, trauma, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches care with attention to each person's goals and cultural background, offering practical tools to cope with life changes, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and workplace stress. Rossana combines a warm, client-centered manner with strategies aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and emotional resilience.

Her clinical toolkit draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build motivation for change, and develop concrete coping skills. With three years of professional experience across homes, schools, clinics, and agencies, she brings experience supporting people through end-of-life issues, adoption and foster care matters, narcissistic dynamics, and compassion fatigue.

Rossana holds LICSW and LCSW credentials (RI LICSW ISW03957, FL LCSW SW17867) and practices from Florida, offering services in both English and Spanish.

Evidence-Based Strategies Delivered Online

Rossana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT focuses on practical exercises and skill-building for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to support clients in finding personal motivation for change, which can be useful for tackling ambivalence around habits, treatment steps, or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time so the treatment fits the client's needs, preferences, and pace rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with Rossana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access bilingual support from Florida-based licensed professionals without needing an in-person visit.
