Background and approach
She draws on cognitive tools, mindfulness, and narrative work to help people change unhelpful patterns. Her background includes long experience in addiction services and work with people affected by trauma and PTSD. She has also supported people adjusting to illness, caregiving burdens, and end-of-life concerns.
That variety shaped a flexible style that can shift to suit different problems. Sessions often involve setting small, achievable goals and practicing skills between meetings. Roxanna encourages tracking progress and noticing what changes feel useful.
She emphasizes self-compassion while addressing control issues, codependence, and relationship struggles. Roxanna holds an MD and is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical, LCSW-C. She is based in Maryland and offers services in English.
Her long career centers on helping people move from feeling stuck to managing life with more confidence.
Online approaches that match your needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help people stuck in worry, avoidance, or life transitions by shifting attention toward what matters most.Client-Centered Therapy centers on respectful listening and supporting the client’s own problem solving. This approach helps people who need space to talk things through and develop self-direction at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression. It works well for sleeping problems, anger, and coping with stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they adjust methods and tools as progress is observed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions and practicing skills with visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life.
