About Roger

Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over three decades of experience. He speaks plain, direct language and focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and manage difficult moods. He listens first, then works with each person to find steps that fit their life and goals.

Roger uses straightforward tools to help with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship concerns. He pays attention to how life changes and caregiving demands affect daily functioning.

Background and approach

He also supports people facing issues with sleep, eating, self-esteem, and coping with chronic illness. In sessions he draws from several established methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior to reduce distress. Attachment-Based work focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and feelings. Roger trained at the University of Washington and has a long history of clinical work in Washington state.

His LICSW credential signals extended supervised practice and clinical training. He blends skill-building with a person-centered stance so decisions come from the client’s priorities. People who come to him can expect a collaborative, practical tone.

Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and attention to creative expression when that matters to the person. He helps clients take manageable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Roger uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate every choice. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a life that matters, useful for anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is hands-on and goal-oriented, often involving practice between sessions to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep disruption.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. He will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. This range of formats makes it easier to keep regular contact, practice new skills, and follow up between meetings. The aim is practical access and consistency so therapeutic work can fit into everyday life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
