About Socorro
Socorro Dennis is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, and low self-esteem. She offers a warm, respectful approach and aims to create a space where people can speak honestly about what is hard for them. Socorro encourages practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation instead of using one fixed method. That means sessions can include skill practice, problem solving, and talking through painful feelings. Socorro draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, and to try small experiments that change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills may be used to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance when strong emotions or self-harm concerns are present.
With seven years of experience and credentials as an LICSW and LCSW, Socorro brings practical clinical experience in Florida. She works with people facing grief, relationship strain, workplace stress, multicultural issues, seasonal mood shifts, and trauma or sexual assault histories. Codependency and blended family concerns are included among her focus areas.
Socorro emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps. She helps people set achievable goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track what is helpful over time. The aim is steadier coping, clearer choices, and a greater sense of agency.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist helps people name what matters most and shapes sessions around those goals, which works well for stress, life changes, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change patterns that keep problems like anxiety, low mood, and problematic substance use going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing self-harm behaviors. These skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people in crisis or coping with strong feelings.
Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and try approaches that match a client's goals and day-to-day life. Adjustments happen over time based on what helps.
