About Roxanne

Roxanne Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

Roxanne aims to build a straightforward, trusting connection so people feel heard and understood. She prefers a collaborative approach.

Roxanne starts by listening to what matters most to the individual and then identifies strengths to build from. She uses a mix of well-known methods, aiming for practical steps that fit each person's life.

Roxanne draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on the person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help change habits of thought and behavior.

When emotions run high, she can introduce skills from dialectical behavior work to help manage intensity and improve coping. Her background includes work with people facing first responder trauma, crisis intervention, dual diagnosis, domestic violence, and complex family situations.

Roxanne mentions familiarity with LGBTQ+ concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and co-occurring conditions like ADHD and bipolar disorder. This range informs how she tailors support in real cases.

Sessions are aimed at clear, attainable steps. Roxanne helps people work on communication, anger, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep and eating concerns, and parenting strain.

She prefers plain language and practical tools so people can use what they learn right away.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Roxanne uses the Gottman Method ideas to focus on communication skills and practical tools for relationship problems, helping people learn small behaviors that improve how they relate to others. Client-centered therapy is a core part of her work and emphasizes listening closely, following the person's lead, and shaping sessions around their stated goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and introduce step-by-step strategies to change behavior and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Roxanne works together with each person to decide which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as new challenges come up.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions with visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates, practice skills between sessions, or check in when scheduling is tight. These options aim to make it easier to keep regular work on goals despite busy lives or distance.
