Roian Baalman, LPC

Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and relationship problems. Roian also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, attention challenges, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.

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 practical experience informs how she approaches everyday problems. She has worked alongside clients managing clinical mental illnesses and personality disorders, and has familiarity with Medicated-Assisted-Treatment (MAT).

Roian blends several therapy styles to meet a person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions also use client-centered and dialectical behavior ideas when they fit the client's goals.

In sessions she helps people set clear goals and practice skills that fit daily life. She talks through boundary setting, managing cravings, reducing panic, and rebuilding trust after rejection or abandonment. Roian will work with a client to decide which approaches to use and what progress looks like.

Her office practice grew from agency work into private practice hours that include evenings and Saturdays. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can outline goals and next steps.
