Dr. Michael Rocco

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been doing psychotherapy since 1999. I have worked with both individuals and couples, from a NICU setting to hospice:across the life span.

My style is warm and interactive, using a variety of methods, whatever it takes to help you achieve your goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is probably the best description of my theoretical orientation. Starting therapy is not an easy task, and my goal is to help you weather the storm, and get you to where you want to be.

Take a deep breath, give me a call, and let’s get to work!

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to perform comparably to traditional in-person sessions for most situations.

A major benefit is flexibility – you can connect in the way that best fits your life, whether that is video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to maintain regular care despite busy schedules or other constraints.

Therapy provided online is delivered by licensed professionals and therapists, and clients have the option to change providers if they determine a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy offers an effective and convenient route to addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
