About Rosemary
Rosemary Maltese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee. She brings 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She aims to offer steady, practical support and clear steps people can use between sessions.
Her style centers on the person in front of her. She listens first, then helps set realistic goals. Rosemary blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused techniques to address everyday problems and big life changes.
Background and approach
She has worked with issues related to trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with career concerns, ADHD, anger, compassion fatigue, and relationship challenges. Her background includes attention to how family of origin and attachment experiences shape current patterns.
Sessions emphasize strengths and practical skills. Clients learn coping strategies, communication techniques, and ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts. She may use mindfulness practices and other evidence-informed methods to reduce distress and increase resilience.
Rosemary invites people who want encouragement and concrete tools to move forward. She aims to create a calm space where clients can name goals, try new approaches, and track progress over time. The focus is on useful change rather than labels.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Rosemary commonly uses client-centered approaches that focus on the person’s experience, giving space for feelings and priorities to guide work together. This helps when someone needs someone to listen, name strengths, and set meaningful goals.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it teaches concrete skills to reframe thinking and test new actions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are another tool she may use to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication when intense emotions get in the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and may adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing contact between longer sessions.
