About Rosa

Rosa Hill is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with nine years of experience in clinical practice, administration, and private practice ownership. She works with adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and issues of guilt and shame. Sessions are conversational and practical, focused on helping people manage day-to-day problems and painful feelings.

Rosa draws on experience from maternal-infant social work, hospice care, and counseling survivors of domestic violence. That background shaped her approach to grief, caregiving stress, and chronic illness. She has also worked in public schools and has provided support for people facing separation, divorce, and blended family challenges.

Her style starts from a strengths-based perspective. Rosa begins by listening to where someone is and what they already do well. From there she uses tools from several approaches to help people build new ways of coping and relating.

Therapeutic tools she commonly uses include acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, cognitive-behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and emotion-focused work to address relationship and intimacy concerns. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions.

People who come to Rosa often want straightforward, practical steps and space to talk through painful memories, guilt, or life transitions. Her background includes work with bereavement, domestic violence survivors, and caregiving roles, which informs how she supports those facing loss, chronic stress, or role changes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Rosa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values despite painful thoughts or emotions. CBT focuses on noticing thought and behavior patterns and practicing different responses to reduce distress.

She also integrates Client-Centered principles, which means conversations are guided by the client's perspective and priorities. Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative - she will work with clients to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow people to choose quieter surroundings or to step away from caregiving duties for a session without rearranging their whole day. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises such as ACT values work and CBT skill practice to work well in a virtual setting.
