About Emily-Rose

Emily-Rose Santamaria is a licensed clinical social worker with four years of professional experience in Connecticut. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and challenges like ADHD and addiction. Emily-Rose focuses on building a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to make changes.

Her style is warm and interactive. She treats therapy as a team effort and centers the person's own experience and strengths.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize practical steps and honest conversation rather than labels or judgment. Emily-Rose draws on several approaches to shape treatment. She uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.

Cognitive behavioral techniques help break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness skills are added when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. She adapts the work to match each person's needs, blending methods rather than relying on a single model.

That means sessions might include skill teaching, guided reflection, problem-solving, and targeted goal-setting. Parents and individuals worried about family dynamics or attachment concerns can expect practical ways to try at home. For people who feel stuck or overwhelmed, Emily-Rose aims to make progress feel manageable.

She focuses on small, tangible steps that build toward clearer patterns and better day-to-day coping. The approach is person-centered, strength-based, and focused on real-life results.

Online support

Attachment-informed and skills-based care online

Emily-Rose often blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral work. Attachment-informed therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating habits in relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks down tough thoughts and behaviors into small steps and teaches practical tools for coping with anxiety, depression, or mood swings.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstration. Phone sessions are useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Text and chat let people check in between meetings or use written communication for processing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or family life while accessing the same therapeutic approaches used in person.
