About Roseann
Roseann Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing addiction, trauma, mood disorders, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Roseann also supports people dealing with codependency, abandonment, and issues around control and communication.
She draws on experience from community and college counseling settings. That work included supporting young adults through transitions and helping people with severe mental illness build coping skills. Much of her recent practice focuses on substance use and co-occurring behavioral health concerns, where trauma often plays a role.
In sessions she uses a straightforward, person-focused approach. She borrows from client-centered methods to listen and collaborate, and from motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are part of the practical tools she offers.
Roseann often sets short goals between sessions. These are concrete steps chosen together to practice new skills and test changes in daily life. She takes a strengths-oriented stance and keeps work grounded in everyday routines.
Her background includes crisis and longer-term care for mood disorders, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to help clients reduce intense feelings and build clearer boundaries and communication patterns. People who struggle with putting others first may find focused support for setting limits and regaining a sense of self.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
She regularly uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. That means listening closely, reflecting what is said, and shaping work around the client’s priorities. This approach helps when you need to sort out relationship patterns or understand how codependent behaviors affect daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT techniques can address anxiety, depression, and mood swings by practicing new ways of thinking and testing them in real situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness are woven in when managing strong emotions, improving toleration for distress, and building better emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with clients to pick techniques that fit their goals, whether that means setting short between-session tasks, practicing boundary-setting, or working on substance use motivation. This is a team effort rather than a fixed prescription.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness exercises to online sessions so practical skill-building continues even when meeting virtually.
