About Ana-Rocío
Dr. Ana-Rocdo Escobar-Chew is a Michigan-licensed LMFT with 18 years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and parenting challenges.
She draws on approaches that center the person's experience and relationships. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what practical changes could help. She aims for therapy that is collaborative and strength-based, so people recognise and use their own resources while working on goals.
Dr. Escobar-Chew often addresses themes that come up around family life, including blended family issues, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and conflicts rooted in family of origin. She also works with people facing grief, intimacy-related problems, body image, immigration-related stress, and caregiver strain.
Her method blends emotion-focused work with solutions-oriented tools and relationship-focused skills. That can mean helping a person notice how emotions shape interactions, and then practicing clear communication or problem-solving steps. The Gottman Method is part of that relationship work, used to build clearer patterns of interaction.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. International clients are accepted. For people who are juggling work, parenting, or complicated family responsibilities, she aims to make sessions practical and focused on the next actionable step.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person is feeling so they can make clearer choices. That approach helps with stress, depression, and relationship confusion by keeping the therapist's attention on the client's perspective.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with emotions and attachment patterns in relationships. It helps people notice how emotions drive interactions and then practice new responses to create calmer interactions and better connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining emotion-focused work with practical, solution-focused steps or Gottman-style communication skills depending on what the client wants to address.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Talk with the therapist about timing, language preference, and whether you want sessions that focus on emotion processing, communication skills, or brief problem-solving.
