Socorro Dennis , LICSW, LCSW

Socorro Dennis is a licensed clinician in Florida who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and depression. She is straightforward and calm in session, and she aims to create an environment where people feel heard and treated with respect.

She adapts conversations and care to each person's situation instead of using one set plan for everyone. Socorro uses practical tools to help with anger, motivation, and coping during life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, workplace strain, and issues specific to women.

Her background includes seven years of clinical work as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. That experience has included helping people navigate substance use concerns, relationship stress, and the emotional fallout from disasters or other sudden events.

In sessions she draws on client-centered ideas to follow the person's lead, and she uses techniques from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to build skills and change patterns. Conversations focus on concrete steps clients can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.

People who are looking for a therapist who combines empathy with doable strategies may find her style helpful. She offers sessions in English and works with adults seeking support for personal and work-related concerns.

How her approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens without judgment, and helps clarify what matters most in treatment. This approach is useful when someone wants their concerns and values to guide the work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal conflict. It is helpful for people who need tools to cope with intense feelings and reduce impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as needed for progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual connection, phone calls can fit into a short break, and chat or text can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or travel while still receiving consistent care.
