Background and approach

Her style blends client-centered care with evidence-informed tools. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking. She draws on dialectical behavior methods to teach skills for managing intense emotions.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox. Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and feelings without judgment. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel unsure where to start.

Roxann brings five years of professional experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. Her approach focuses on practical coping skills, clearer thinking, and small behavior changes that add up over time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Roxann uses client-centered methods to create a supportive space where the client’s concerns guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people make choices that fit their values and life.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

In addition, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These tools can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships create repeated conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit. Plans can be adjusted as needs change so the work stays relevant and doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow short updates, skill coaching, or reminders between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into a busy life.
