About Rossana

Rossana Mendez Cole helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and offers straightforward, practical support for common struggles. Rossana aims to make sessions feel manageable, with short-term tools and clear steps people can use between meetings.

She is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, and also holds an LCSW credential. Over three years she has worked in homes, schools, clinics, and agencies, giving her a range of real-world experience.

Background and approach

That background informs how she adapts sessions to each person's situation. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and build motivation for change. She also draws on solution-focused ideas and mindfulness practices to create simple, actionable plans.

Conversations are practical and goal-oriented rather than abstract. Rossana pays attention to cultural background and life stage when shaping treatment. She supports people dealing with parenting strain, workplace stress, relationship conflict, aging and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional impacts of adoption or abandonment.

She also addresses mood disorders, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. People will find a mix of listening, gentle challenge, and homework that fits daily life. Sessions move at a pace set by the client, and Rossana helps break larger problems into small steps.

She works from Florida and offers services in both English and Spanish.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online care

Rossana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT focuses on small, concrete changes in thinking and action, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach is collaborative and works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rossana will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then choose or blend methods that fit their needs. Clients take part in deciding what techniques to try and how quickly to move forward.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people get brief support or work through issues in shorter exchanges during the week. These options offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
