About Roseann
Roseann Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 16 years of experience. She helps people dealing with addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and codependency. Her manner is warm and approachable, which can make it easier to talk about difficult topics.
Roseann uses practical strategies that people can try between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses mindfulness to build calm and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions.
Her recent work has focused on addiction and behavioral health. She has helped people living with bipolar disorder and major depression to develop daily coping steps. She also has experience supporting people with histories of trauma and connects them with resources to reduce intense feelings when they arise.
Earlier in her career she worked at a college counseling center and has supported young adults navigating the shift to independence. She often sets small, client-led goals to work on between sessions so progress feels manageable.
Roseann aims to create a friendly space where people feel heard and can try straightforward tools. She combines motivational, strengths-based coaching with evidence-informed techniques to help people move forward.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Roseann commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness in her work. CBT helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then experiment with small changes. Mindfulness teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and bring more calm during stressful moments.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional intensity makes it hard to cope. DBT skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication so everyday situations feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Roseann will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest focal strategies that match their needs. That plan can change as progress is made and life shifts.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins by phone or video when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor how they use CBT, mindfulness, and DBT skills to work well in remote sessions and help clients practice tools between meetings.
