About Otilia
Otilia Rowe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with eight years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, identity questions, and career or intimacy-related worries. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Otilia focuses on how patterns from the family someone grew up in still affect daily life now. She helps people recognize repetitive roles, expectations, and communication habits that keep causing problems. The work often looks at attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, and family of origin issues.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions involve clear steps, skills practice, and spoken reflection rather than long theoretical talks. Clients learn tools for emotional regulation, setting boundaries, and managing stress in concrete ways.
Otilia uses several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She draws on these methods to address anxiety, relationship patterns, and past distress.
Many people come for help with intimacy-related concerns, identity questions such as gender dysphoria or LGBT issues, and parenting or fatherhood challenges. She also supports clients navigating fertility, separation, or the effects of control and avoidance in relationships.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Otilia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and uncertainty about life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns that feed worry or low self-esteem and to teach practical skills for changing those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood shifts, and building problem-solving habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will collaborate to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress unfolds and new concerns appear.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
