About Roslyn
Roslyn Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 20 years of practice. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency. She also helps with sleep problems, parenting strain, career concerns, ADHD, grief, and coping with major life changes.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions tend to center on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings. She uses conversation, skill-building, and reflection to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and to try new behaviors that feel more sustainable.
Roslyn draws on several evidence-based methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existential Therapy. That mix lets her match strategies to problems like anxiety, addictive behaviors, or difficulty setting boundaries. She aims to help clients clarify values and take manageable actions that line up with those values.
In the room she will listen, offer feedback, and teach practical tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Sessions often include exercises to change unhelpful thinking, build distress tolerance, and practice clearer requests with others.
She works with adult clients in Mississippi and conducts therapy in English. Roslyn asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session so she can learn about concerns and goals.
How sessions work
How Roslyn Brings Therapeutic Approaches Online
Roslyn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and stuck patterns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different responses. CBT offers concrete exercises for anxiety, mood, sleep, and problems with worry or rumination. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are sometimes included to teach distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication in intense moments.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. During the first sessions she will talk with each person about goals, daily life, and what has or has not helped in the past. From there she suggests methods and checks in regularly to adjust the plan so it fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Whatever the format, the focus remains on practical skills, clearer choices, and ways to reduce the patterns that keep someone putting others first.
