About Ana-Rocío

Dr. Ana-Rocedo Escobar-Chew offers a warm, practical approach to therapy that centers on personal meaning and relationships. She brings 18 years of clinical experience and speaks both English and Spanish.

Her work is grounded in listening and helping people name what matters to them now. She uses Existential ideas to help people face difficult choices and confusing feelings. That means talking about values, purpose, and how to live with uncertainty.

Background and approach

She blends that with client-centered care that puts the persons experience first and emotionally focused methods for understanding relational patterns. Areas she commonly supports include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with parenting strain, communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and immigration-related struggles.

Additional focuses include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, body image, codependency, and guilt or shame. Her style is collaborative and strength-based. Sessions aim to identify what is working, clarify realistic goals, and try practical steps between meetings.

She offers straightforward guidance and listens for emotional patterns that keep problems repeating. Dr. Escobar-Chew is licensed as a marriage and family therapist in Michigan, LMFT.

She accepts people in both English and Spanish and works with international clients when language and scheduling allow. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Online support

Bringing existential and relational work online

Dr. Escobar-Chew uses Existential Therapy to help people examine meaning, values, and life choices when facing stress or change. This approach can be helpful for those feeling emptiness, grief, or uncertainty about relationships and life direction.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to map how emotions shape relationship patterns and to create clearer ways of connecting. That approach is often useful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and healing after hurt. In session she combines these methods with a client-centered stance that keeps the person's experience central and helps set small, doable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods collaboratively. Clients are invited to try different techniques and give feedback so the plan fits their life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for greater flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone can fit shorter check-ins or low bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging can support quick reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
