Rosa Gomez Duque, LMFT

Rosa Gomez Duque is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings a culturally informed, strengths-based approach to her clinical work. Born in Colombia, she completed a bachelor degree in Psychology before moving to the United States in 2005, and later earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2012. Fluent in both English and Spanish, she offers care to diverse populations and has delivered therapeutic services through nonprofit organizations to children, adolescents, and adults.

With six years of professional experience, Rosa focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, stress management, relationship difficulties, trauma, and cultural issues. She also works with parenting challenges, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, intimacy and sexuality issues, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Her practice aims to support emotional growth and resilience by helping clients identify and use their inner resources.

Rosa describes her style as holistic and adaptable, combining evidence-based therapeutic techniques with an emphasis on acceptance, empathy, and non-judgment. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions, she guides clients to discover their own answers, encouraging self-understanding and personal responsibility. She values the courage it takes to seek help and supports each person through the process until they feel ready to continue independently.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Remote Care

Rosa uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client. She employs structured skills-based methods that teach tools for managing stress and anxiety, helping clients build practical habits for emotional regulation and day-to-day coping. These techniques are useful for people facing worry, sleep disruption, or difficulty concentrating.

She also integrates relational and systemic approaches that examine patterns within families and close relationships, supporting improvements in communication, conflict resolution, and parenting. These methods help when relationship dynamics, intimacy issues, or family stressors contribute to emotional distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rosa works with clients to identify their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting techniques over time to find the best fit. She emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and practical growth so clients feel supported while developing their own solutions.

Online therapy with Rosa is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations within California. The flexible formats allow for ongoing support between sessions and make it possible to continue progress even when in-person visits are not practical.
