About Rosemary
Rosemary Maltese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She also addresses trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, ADHD, and codependency-related patterns.
Rosemary uses client-centered methods to help people feel heard and understood. She combines that with cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change everyday behaviors. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and coping tools.
In sessions she helps people spot people-pleasing habits, set clearer boundaries, and rebuild a sense of self after giving too much to others. She works with issues tied to family of origin, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and the long-term effects of growing up around substance use. Practical problem solving and skills practice are part of the process.
Rosemary offers strategies for handling career stress, transitions, and life-stage decisions. She addresses anger, guilt, shame, isolation, and feelings of emptiness with straightforward exercises and conversations. EMDR is among the approaches she can use when trauma memories need direct processing.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a focus on moving from survival patterns toward clearer choices. Her approach blends talk, skill-building, and short-term goal work so people can test new behaviors between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them; online sessions let this conversation happen without travel and in shorter blocks when needed. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises between meetings to shift patterns; that homework and check-in style adapts well to virtual appointments. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be practiced and reviewed during online sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals, test techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps you make clearer choices and manage people-pleasing or boundary issues more effectively. You and the therapist pick tools together rather than one fixed plan.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and shorter check-ins when a full appointment is not needed. Confirm current session options before booking so you know exactly which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to keep momentum, practice skills between meetings, and bring real-life examples from your day into discussion.
