About Roger
Roger Pawlak is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience. He focuses on anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and other life stresses. His tone is grounded and direct, aimed at people who want clear steps forward rather than jargon.
He offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can tell their story and feel heard. Sessions often begin by identifying immediate concerns and practical goals. Roger prioritizes emotional safety and steady progress over quick fixes.
Background and approach
Roger draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship difficulties. He helps people learn new coping skills, reframe painful thoughts, and practice healthier ways of relating. The work can include short-term problem solving or longer-term rebuilding of trust and routine.
He has experience with issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, first responder and veteran challenges, and cultural stressors. He also supports people facing grief, substance struggles, sleep problems, and identity or discrimination concerns. Roger offers several formats for remote work, including video, phone, chat, and text messaging, so clients can choose what fits their schedule.
He aims to help clients reconnect with their values, strengthen resilience, and move toward clearer relationships and daily routines.
Evidence-based care and online flexibility
Roger uses well-established, evidence-based approaches that focus on understanding and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. Cognitive-based techniques help people identify patterns of thought that fuel anxiety and depression and teach practical ways to test and change those thoughts. This approach suits people who want concrete tools to manage worry and mood.Trauma-focused methods aim to reduce the hold that distressing memories and reactions have on daily life. Work in this area typically involves pacing, grounding strategies, and gradually revisiting difficult material so it becomes less disruptive. That kind of work can help with PTSD symptoms, grief, and shock-related responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Roger will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. He explains options, checks in about what is working, and adjusts plans as progress unfolds.
Online therapy includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier around work, family, or shift work. Phone or text can be useful for quick check-ins or lower-bandwidth days, while video calls allow for fuller conversations and visual cues. These options let people fit sessions into busy lives and continue care even when travel or time constraints make in-person visits difficult.
