About Romia
Romia "Mia" Evans Baggs is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. She practices in Texas and brings a calm, warm presence to sessions. Mia focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and grief. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting stress, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and identity issues like gender dysphoria.
Background and approach
Trauma and abuse are part of her experience, including combat-related trauma. Mia uses straightforward talk and interactive exercises rather than long lectures. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based practices to help people live by their values.
She also relies on client-centered ways of listening so each person feels heard. Sessions are collaborative. Mia and the person in therapy work together to set goals and try small, doable changes.
She explains options and helps people pick what fits their life and their needs. She aims to make beginning therapy as simple as possible. People start with a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a time that fits.
Mia uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to meet different needs and routines.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting hard feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill building. It often helps with mood, worry, sleep, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and a nonjudgmental presence so people feel understood and can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people get short, timely support or continue work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days.
