About Roxann

LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), 5 years of experience. Roxann Francis focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationships, family dynamics, career questions, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue.

Roxann uses straightforward conversation to clarify what matters most to each person. She draws from client-centered work and evidence-based techniques to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on problems people bring in day to day.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness, and Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or struggling with motivation.

Roxann adapts the pace and goals to each person. She will talk through what matters first, outline a few options, and jointly agree on early steps. That may include short behavioral experiments, skill practice between sessions, or reflective work on values and priorities.

Roxann practises in New York as an LCSW. She has five years of professional experience and works in English. To begin, people use the site button to view online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can clarify goals and priorities; it helps when people want a collaborative, nonjudgmental conversation about practical problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying thought and behavior patterns, testing small changes, and practicing new responses; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and reducing reactivity, including grounding and distress-tolerance techniques useful during high-stress periods.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences, then recommend a mix of methods. That plan can be adjusted as work proceeds so methods match what is actually helping the client.

Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. When arranging sessions, consider practical benefits such as fitting appointments into a busy day, using shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding travel time. Many people find online sessions make it easier to maintain weekly work by reducing commuting and by allowing focused skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to remote work to support steady progress.
