About Roger
Roger Kolker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Massachusetts with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship questions, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He speaks English and works with adults seeking practical help for these issues.
Kolker uses clear, structured approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions often involve straightforward discussion, checking where thoughts lead to feelings, and trying small behavior changes. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods to guide this work.
He pays attention to communication problems, attachment issues, control struggles, and impulsivity when those problems affect daily life. He also supports people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns, questions about life purpose, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and building self-love. In sessions he helps identify specific patterns that get in the way of goals.
Roger aims to make therapy concrete. That can mean setting short experiments between sessions, practicing new ways to speak or act, or using acceptance strategies when emotions feel overwhelming. He checks progress and adjusts plans as needed.

How CBT, ACT and Client-Centered Work Online
Roger uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and short in-session practice to reduce anxiety and stress.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT emphasizes values-based actions and simple skills for accepting hard emotions while still moving toward what matters.
Client-Centered Therapy shapes how he listens and responds. That approach centers the client’s perspective and encourages clear, respectful feedback so people can find their own solutions.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. He discusses goals and preferences early and adjusts methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work together to try approaches and choose what fits the client’s needs.
