About Roseann
Roseann Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience in Virginia. She helps people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem problems, bipolar disorder, and life changes.
She has recent experience supporting people with addiction and behavioral health issues. She has also worked with individuals with severe mental illness, including bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, and helps them build practical coping strategies. Her background includes work at a college student counseling center, so she is familiar with young adult issues and relationship transitions.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-minded. She borrows from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy methods. Sessions often include identifying specific steps to try between meetings and practicing skills discussed in session.
When trauma is present she focuses on recognizing triggers and finding resources to reduce intense reactions. She notes that substance use and trauma commonly appear together, and she addresses both areas when needed. Roseann aims to make sessions easy to talk in and will use a strengths-based style when helping clients set next steps.
People can expect a practical focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. Roseann works with each person to set small, manageable goals and to track progress over time. To begin, clients follow the site process to answer a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Roseann uses structured approaches in online sessions
Roseann works from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in short, concrete ways. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT focuses on skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation and distress tolerance.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective and goals. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which tools to try based on current problems, goals, and what feels doable in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make some exercises simpler to practice between meetings. Roseann will discuss practical scheduling and the best way to run sessions when clients complete the matching questionnaire and book their first appointment.
