About Ana-Rocío
Dr. Ana-Rocío Escobar-Chew is a Michigan-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 18 years of clinical experience. She works in both English and Spanish and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also addresses codependency and a range of related struggles such as abandonment, attachment concerns, and communication problems.
She favors a collaborative, strength-based way of working. Sessions aim to identify what a person already does well and build on those skills. Practical steps and clear goals are part of the process so people can test change between sessions.
Dr. Escobar-Chew uses approaches that concentrate on emotions, relationships, and problem solving. She combines client-centered listening with emotionally-focused work and solution-focused tools to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also draws on existential ideas to help clients consider values and meaning when life feels unsettled.
Her background includes many years helping people navigate family conflicts, blended family stress, adoption or foster care questions, and caregiver strain. She also supports those dealing with immigration-related pressures, body image concerns, guilt, shame, and the practical fallout of divorce or separation.
Sessions move at a steady, goal-oriented pace. The therapist helps people set realistic steps for boundary-setting, reducing people-pleasing, and coping with others' mood storms or crises. People who prefer work in Spanish can do so with her.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Escobar-Chew combines emotionally-focused work and client-centered listening to address relationship and intimacy concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify core emotions and patterns in close relationships, especially useful when people keep putting others first or struggle with attachment. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for a person to describe their experience and priorities while the therapist follows what matters most to them.She also draws on solution-focused methods to create short-term, practical steps people can try between sessions. That approach is useful for testing new boundary skills, changing people-pleasing habits, or handling caregiving stress without getting stuck in long discussions. The therapist will help decide which mix of approaches best fits a person’s goals and preferences through a collaborative discussion rather than prescribing one method up front.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins that fit a work break, or making sessions possible across time zones for international clients. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and in-session conversations to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
