About Ana-Rocío

Dr. Ana-Rocío Escobar-Chew is a bilingual therapist who speaks English and Spanish. She is a Michigan-licensed LMFT with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns.

She focuses on emotion in sessions and uses approaches that center feelings and connection. That includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused ways of working. Her style is collaborative and strength-based, asking what matters to each person and building on their resilience.

Background and approach

Clients often come with family conflict, parenting strain, or issues tied to trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing identity questions, intimacy struggles, caregiver stress, and the effects of immigration on family life. Practical topics such as communication problems, blended family challenges, and separation are part of her day-to-day practice.

Sessions aim to clarify goals and try small, manageable steps between meetings. Conversations are direct but compassionate, with space to name painful feelings and to find new responses. The work balances talking about the past with focused strategies for coping now.

Dr. Escobar-Chew uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She encourages collaboration on treatment goals and adapts methods depending on what is most helpful for the situation.

Online support

Emotion-focused help through flexible online formats

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and shifting emotional responses in relationships and personal life. It helps people name painful feelings, trace how those feelings shape interactions, and try new ways of relating that reduce distress and increase connection.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person at the center of the work. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and reflects experience back so people can better understand themselves and decide next steps. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, immediate changes by identifying goals and small actions that move someone toward those goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then recommend a combination of methods. That plan can shift over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling and consistent care more flexible for people with busy or changing routines.
