About Rosemary
Rosemary Holderman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four decades of experience in mental health. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, or big life changes. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, and she aims to build an honest working relationship with each client.
She has worked across many settings including juvenile corrections, group homes, public mental health, in-home family counseling, and child welfare services.
Background and approach
That background meant doing individual sessions, group work, and family meetings, so she is used to different kinds of conversations and needs. This range informs how she tailors support for each person. Her practice focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, parenting stress, relationship and communication problems, trauma and abuse, and anger.
She also works with concerns like ADHD, bipolar challenges, career stress, and issues tied to adoption, caregiving, or blended families. She brings practical skills aimed at day-to-day coping and clearer decision making. Rosemary favors a client-centered style where the person sets the pace and priorities.
She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, acceptance-based ideas, and dialectical strategies when they match a client’s goals. Sessions emphasize listening, learning skills, and setting reachable steps forward. Based in Florida and licensed as an LCSW, she offers care in English and draws on long experience helping people navigate transitions and rebuild trust in themselves.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, and then choose behaviors that match their values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which supports emotional regulation and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find methods that fit a person’s daily life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or quick skill practice between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can fit care around work, parenting, and other commitments.
