About Rosa
Rosa Howard-Poston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in New York and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and career challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her style is straightforward and interactive. Rosa uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns in feelings and interactions. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support clearer thinking and stronger choices.
In sessions she listens for emotional patterns that keep recurring. She helps people name difficult feelings, notice how those feelings shape behavior, and try new responses. Work can include practical tools for managing sleep, stress, or substance use as well as conversations about relationships and family concerns.
Rosa has a long history in human services and community work. That background influences how she balances practical problem-solving with attention to emotional experience. She frames therapy around specific goals and adjusts the pace based on what a person needs at the time.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Rosa uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and name emotions that drive recurring patterns. EFT tends to focus on feelings and attachment-related moments that show up in relationships and personal reactions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person’s concerns and goals and relies on listening and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in her work as a way to break cycles of unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete strategies for change.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Rosa will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method up front.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so meetings can occur during breaks or from another quiet location. These practical advantages can help therapy fit into everyday life while the therapist and client focus on emotional patterns, coping skills, and relationship moments.
