Socorro Dennis, LICSW, LCSW

Socorro Dennis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction issues, low self-esteem, and anger. She speaks plainly and offers steady support as people take steps toward change. Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and practical tools to make daily life easier.

She uses a tailored plan for each person instead of one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and small changes that add up. For addiction concerns she works on coping strategies, triggers, and motivation to reduce harm and regain control.

Socorro draws on client-centered therapy to listen and prioritize the person’s perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior strategies are added when emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed.

With seven years of clinical experience and credentials as an LICSW and LCSW, she combines real-world practicality with empathetic listening. Her work includes supporting people through grief, trauma, workplace strain, and life transitions.

People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and coping tools they can use right away. She emphasizes collaboration, so clients help shape the focus and pace of therapy. To begin, a brief intake guides the first steps toward clearer goals and manageable changes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. It helps when people need a space to be heard and to set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds techniques for managing intense emotions and improving coping skills in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This means trying techniques, adjusting strategies, and checking in often about progress and comfort level.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when needed or choose sessions that best match their schedule and energy level.
