Rosemary Ostrosky, LCSW

Rosemary Ostrosky is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 40 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with codependency and related patterns such as people-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries.

Rosemary uses straightforward conversations to sort out what feels most urgent. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and clarify what matters to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical goals.

Sessions usually focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. She helps clients spot repeating patterns, test different ways of responding, and build coping skills for daily stress. When trauma is part of the story, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems ideas guide careful exploration of painful memories and inner parts.

Her background includes decades of work with adults facing family tension, aging concerns, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver strain, and separation or divorce. She uses that experience to notice how family history shapes present behavior and relationships.

Sessions aim to be direct and helpful rather than abstract. Rosemary encourages practical change alongside understanding. To begin, she asks a few questions about what matters most and what goals feel realistic.
