Rosana Arteta , LMHC

Rosana Arteta is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and depression. She also supports concerns like grief, addiction, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges with self-esteem. Rosana offers care in both English and Spanish.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She focuses on creating an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgment. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what a person needs right now.

Rosana uses approaches that center the person and their goals. She draws on client-centered work to listen closely and build on strengths. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviors in everyday life.

She also brings mindfulness and skills-based ideas into sessions to help manage overwhelming emotions and reduce reactivity. People struggling with mood swings, panic, or impulsive behavior may find step-by-step tools helpful in between visits.

With eight years of practice, Rosana combines straightforward conversation with concrete strategies. She encourages small experiments and practical steps to make daily life more manageable. The aim is steady progress toward clearer choices and a greater sense of agency.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths. It involves a nonjudgmental stance where the therapist mirrors concerns and helps people name their goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying a few strategies, reflecting on what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let someone maintain face-to-face contact from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, follow-up questions, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day.
