About Roslyn

Roslyn Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, codependency, and challenges such as trauma, addictions, and relationship strain. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at practical steps people can use between sessions.

Roslyn focuses on clear goals and steady progress. She listens first, then offers tools drawn from cognitive and behavioral approaches as well as acceptance-based work. Many sessions include skill-building for managing strong emotions, improving sleep, and handling life changes.

Her background includes two decades working with a wide range of concerns, from ADHD and bipolar mood issues to caregiving strain and chronic health challenges. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as appropriate to the person’s needs.

Roslyn aims to create an affirming space where people can talk through difficult memories, set boundaries, and practice new ways of coping. She also supports practical topics such as career decisions, parenting strain, and intimacy-related concerns.

Clients can expect straightforward sessions that combine listening with concrete strategies. Roslyn practices in Mississippi and conducts work in English. To begin, clients follow the platform’s start process to connect and schedule.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, codependency concerns, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing concrete ways to change them; it often helps with depression, sleep problems, and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication skills, which can be helpful for strong mood swings and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try different techniques to see what fits. That process is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can also let the therapist use exercises, worksheets, and skill coaching during the session to practice new habits where they matter most.
