Rogeline Amo

Rogeline Amo

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello :) My name is Rogeline and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. My clinical work has been deeply shaped by my time in hospice care, where I earned a certification in bereavement facilitation and supported clients through grief, loss, end-of-life transitions, and emotional healing. These experiences strengthened my belief in the human capacity for resilience and inform the compassionate, grounded presence I bring into every session.

I have extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, young adults, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, identity-related concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, and overwhelming stressors. I’m passionate about helping clients who feel stuck, unheard, or overwhelmed reconnect with themselves and move toward stability and hope.

I serve clients across California through Empowered Path Clinical Counseling, a practice committed to providing inclusive, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and affirming care, especially for communities who have often been silenced or unsupported. My work integrates evidence-based modalities with a warm, collaborative style that honors each client’s lived experience and personal strengths.

Therapist

Virtual • California


Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re already carrying a lot. My goal is to offer a space where you can take a breath, feel understood, and not have to explain or justify what you’re going through. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with individuals and couples navigating stress, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and just life in general. Many of the people I work with are caring, capable, and thoughtful—yet sometimes feel misunderstood and drained by all of their responsibilities, oftentimes putting their own needs last. I can help guide you as you sort things out and move towards finding more peace and joy in your life.

Life is ever-evolving, and sometimes we need a partner to help us navigate its changing tides. Together, we will focus on building your resilience and capacity for whatever comes next. Our work is practical and action-oriented; we'll identify tangible coping skills you can apply to your daily life, while working to shift negative self-talk into a more supportive mindset. I believe the best work happens in an environment of trust, which is why I always welcome feedback and invite a spirit of shared accountability in our sessions.
