About Roxane
Roxane Pakit is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 40 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and issues related to trauma and addiction. She uses a direct, problem-solving style and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Roxane works in English and draws on decades of practice with clients from many backgrounds.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and emotion-focused methods. She helps people notice thinking patterns and habits that make problems worse, and then practices different ways of responding. Sessions often include clear goals, concrete skills, and short-term exercises to test what works.
Roxane also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and psychodynamic ideas when they fit a person’s needs. That combination supports coping with strong emotions, improving communication, and addressing recurring patterns in relationships. She emphasizes practical tools for stress, anger, and mood regulation.
Her experience includes work across socioeconomic, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, and she integrates family systems thinking when family dynamics are part of the problem. Clients can expect straightforward discussion of goals and progress, with options to adjust focus if something isn’t helping.
Roxane received her Master of Social Work from Adelphi University. She holds an LCSW credential in New Jersey and draws on four decades of clinical practice to guide people toward measurable changes in daily life.
How Roxane Uses Structured Approaches Online
If a client is looking for clear, skills-based work Roxane often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on what the client wants to change, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These approaches help with strong emotions, relationship difficulties, and repeated patterns that cause distress.
Roxane treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, set concrete goals, and adjust methods based on what the client finds helpful. Together they decide which techniques to use and when to shift focus.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online meetings helpful because they can fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can still work through skill building, homework exercises, and communication practice in an online setting, and Roxane will adapt exercises so they work in that format.
