Socorro Dennis, LICSW, LCSW

Socorro Dennis is a licensed social worker in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps clients can use to manage anger, boost self-esteem, and find motivation. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she tailors conversations to each person’s needs.

Clients can expect straightforward, goal-focused work that centers on their experience. Socorro uses a mix of approaches to help people learn new skills and make small changes that add up. She pays attention to cultural background and life context when shaping goals and strategies.

With seven years of experience as a LICSW and LCSW, she draws on techniques that help people notice thought patterns, manage strong emotions, and build clearer communication. That background is applied to a wide range of concerns, from grief and career stress to trauma, sexual assault, and compassion fatigue.

She also supports people dealing with blended family issues, codependency, commitment worries, seasonal mood shifts, and veteran or armed forces related concerns. Socorro works with people coping with natural or human-caused disasters, substance use problems, guilt, shame, and self-harm thoughts when those issues come up in therapy.

Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to work on, with an emphasis on practical tools and steady progress. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Socorro aims to make the process clear and doable for each person who reaches out.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people feel heard and shapes work around what matters most to them, useful for relationship stress and self-worth issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems by teaching practical exercises and homework.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people relate to others. It can be helpful for anger, self-harm thoughts, and ongoing emotional challenges.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and how sessions can fit into everyday life.
