Background and approach
She listens first, then helps clients try out changes that fit their life. Her background includes many years helping people rebuild after loss, cope with panic and phobias, and manage chronic pain or illness. She also supports people dealing with workplace strain, compassion fatigue, and veteran or first responder stress.
Rossi blends talk-based care with skills training. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking, client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing and elements of dialectical behavior therapy appear when clients need structured change strategies.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy puts your needs and priorities first by giving you space to tell your story while the therapist follows your lead. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood issues because it gives concrete steps to reduce symptoms and build confidence.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Practical tools for distress tolerance and emotional regulation can be helpful when reactions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your history, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit your situation. Changes are paced so you can practice skills between sessions and adjust strategies as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have a full conversation and visual cues. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing support between sessions. Together these options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
