Background and approach
Over the years she has worked with people from different backgrounds and life situations, which helps her adapt to each person’s needs. Her approach combines skills-based methods and deeper exploration. She draws on client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person.
She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior techniques to manage strong emotions. Roxane often addresses concerns such as parenting stress, family conflict, grief, intimacy issues, anger, and substance use. She also helps with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, caregiving stress, and workplace communication problems.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. Roxane works with clients to build new coping skills, improve communication, and find ways to rebuild trust and self-worth. Her style is straightforward, respectful, and focused on what will help in daily life.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience. It creates a space where the person sets goals and the therapist follows their lead to build insight and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches clear tools to change unhelpful patterns like anxiety or depressive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for people who experience intense emotions or struggle with impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Roxane will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then use one or more methods that fit. She adapts techniques over time so the plan matches what is working and what isn’t.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls enable face-to-face work when deeper connection is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a short check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing for check-ins, homework, or brief support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic tools as in-person work.
