About Okairy
Okairy Rodriguez is a licensed clinical social worker with fourteen years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and helps people who are facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and struggles with self-esteem. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. The goal is to help each person gain clarity and build skills that fit their daily life.
Okairy combines several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Motivational Interviewing to explore readiness for change and to strengthen motivation. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors.
Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and relationship or communication problems. She also supports people dealing with addictions, workplace stress, major life changes, and issues tied to identity and self-worth.
Clients can expect straightforward, respectful sessions that focus on what matters most to them. Okairy’s style centers on empathy, practical tools, and collaborative planning so progress can continue between meetings.

How approaches like Motivational Interviewing work online
Okairy uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to build their own reasons for taking steps. This method focuses on gentle questions and reflection to strengthen a person’s motivation and commitment.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches people how to notice painful thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her practice too, helping people look at patterns in close relationships and how those early patterns show up now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Okairy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting techniques as progress is made and trying different ways to handle tough situations.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or let someone have a shorter check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum between sessions and to practice skills in real-life situations. -
