About Otilia
Otilia Rowe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She works in English and Spanish and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and major life transitions. Her practice also addresses intimacy concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem, career pressures, compassion fatigue, and blended family issues.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and build small, doable steps. Expect a mix of talking through patterns and practicing tools to manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelm.
Otilia draws on several evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices when stress feels blocking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy offer skills for regulating emotions and improving connection. She also includes EMDR when working with trauma.
Sessions are described as purposeful and direct, focused on tangible change rather than abstract reflection. She supports people who want to keep their ambitions while finding better ways to cope. The tone is practical and often includes some lightness alongside focused work.
Clients come for short-term skills or longer work on deeper patterns. People often seek help for boundaries, blended household tensions, attachment concerns, body image, or the fallout of separation and divorce. If Spanish is preferred, she can provide therapy in that language.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is about clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It helps when stress or life changes make it hard to act on what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts influence feelings and actions, then practices new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity through structured protocols.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to try brief skills work, deeper trauma-focused methods, or a mix of approaches as needs evolve.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. Once confirmed, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations within the therapist's permitted region, which can help keep continuity when routines change.
