About Roxana

Roxana Phillips is an LCMHC licensed in North Carolina with 29 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, executive and professional coaching, and compassion fatigue.

She frames sessions around straightforward, practical work. She listens to what a person brings and helps them notice how thoughts and actions affect feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and test different responses in daily life.

Roxana combines client-centered techniques with mindfulness and narrative work. That mix lets people process difficult events, slow down automatic reactions, and try small experiments that can change routines. Solution-focused methods support clear goal-setting and short-term steps toward those goals.

Her experience includes helping people manage life-stage concerns such as midlife transitions, aging and geriatric issues, caregiving stress, and end-of-life matters. She also works with issues like isolation, seasonal affective disorder, and finding life purpose.

Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. Roxana helps people notice patterns, test new responses, and reflect on what works. She asks questions, offers exercises, and follows the client’s pace while focusing on concrete change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Roxana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions often focus on concrete exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that can be done between meetings.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting so a person’s own goals guide the work. Mindfulness Therapy is included to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve present-moment noticing.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Roxana will discuss goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust strategies based on what helps. The intent is collaborative: set clear goals, test practical steps, and review progress each session.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for different ways to check in when schedules are tight. Ask about the available session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what formats are offered.
