Rosemarie Oddo

Rosemarie Oddo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 12 years of clinical experience. She sees adults navigating stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.

She works in a straightforward, collaborative way. Sessions involve naming current problems, setting clear goals, and practicing skills to handle day-to-day stress. Rosemarie uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and meditation to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.

In practical terms she often teaches coping strategies for anxiety and low mood, and methods to manage impulsivity and addictive urges. She helps people sort through relationship ruptures and separation, and offers support around chronic caregiving stress and isolation. For those facing health-related concerns such as HIV, she addresses the emotional impact alongside other life challenges.

Her approach draws on proven, evidence-based techniques paired with mindfulness practices. Sessions balance talk with concrete exercises to change thinking patterns and build emotional regulation. Clients can expect focused work on skills they can use between meetings.

Rosemarie practices in New York and provides services in English. Her background blends long-term clinical experience with practical skill-building for people who feel stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed and want a clearer way forward.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Rosemarie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches that focus on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, and problematic patterns like impulsivity or avoidance by teaching concrete thinking and behavior tools.

She also integrates mindfulness and meditation practices to improve emotional regulation and reduce stress. These practices involve brief attention exercises and grounding techniques that can be practiced between meetings to support mood and focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit your situation. That collaborative process means adjustments over time if a particular technique isn’t helping as expected.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper skill practice; the therapist will help tailor session pacing and exercises to match daily life and responsibilities.
