About Roian
Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Missouri and Texas with six years of clinical experience. She assists people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Roian uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based approaches. Sessions focus on clear skills, short experiments, and steps people can try between meetings.
Her background includes work in behavioral health and substance use agencies and ten years in human services supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities. That experience shaped how she approaches substance use, medicated-assisted-treatment, and longer-term mental health concerns.
In session Roian helps clients set concrete goals, break problems into manageable parts, and practice new responses. She uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and client-centered techniques when emotional regulation or relationship patterns are the focus.
She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, body image, chronic pain and illness, dissociation, and codependency. The first meeting is used to map priorities and agree on practical next steps. If a client is unsure which issues to raise, Roian accepts a broad starting list and narrows the work together.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Roian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors with short, practical exercises. ACT emphasizes noticing values and taking small committed actions aligned with those values to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas when relationship patterns and early attachment wounds affect current reactions. That work looks at communication habits and how people learned to seek comfort or protect themselves, and it guides practical adjustments in how they relate to others.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Sessions can be adjusted if a method does not fit, and progress is checked regularly to decide next steps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules by removing travel, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or allowing work during a lunch break. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep therapeutic work consistent with everyday life while focusing on clear skills and homework between meetings.
