About Roger
Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with more than three decades of practice. He helps people who are anxious, stressed, or facing mood and thought concerns. His style is down-to-earth and focused on finding workable steps you can try between sessions.
He uses straightforward, person-centered methods that draw on evidence-based techniques. That means conversations center on what matters to you and on practical tools you can use right away.
Background and approach
He often blends ideas from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to address unhelpful thinking and avoidant patterns. Roger has a long professional history in Washington, including a training background connected to the University of Washington and extended work with King County mental health services. He brings 33 years of experience to appointments and a steady, experienced presence in the room.
Beyond mood and anxiety, he also supports people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, trauma and compassion fatigue. He pays attention to issues around intimacy, body image, sleep, and parenting stress when those come up in sessions. He is interested in creativity and imagination as part of healing.
Roger helps people identify barriers that stop them from expressing themselves and then practices small, achievable steps to move past those barriers. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching small exercises you can practice between sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It gives clear tools for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building routines that improve sleep, mood, and daily coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about goals and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Online sessions can use video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules. Video calls let you have a more face-to-face conversation and practice exercises together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written exercises, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, keep continuity when travel or work gets in the way, and try tools in the places where challenges actually happen.
