About Rolanda

Rolanda Jones is a licensed clinician in Maryland with 17 years of professional experience. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical, LCSW-C. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parenting concerns.

Her style is straightforward and strengths-based. She treats each person as the expert on their life and works alongside them to build on what is already working. New clients can expect clear, practical steps and steady support while they try different ways to cope.

Background and approach

Rolanda helps people with a wide range of concerns tied to relationships and family life. That includes parenting strain, divorce and separation, communication problems, attachment issues, and domestic violence recovery. She also addresses mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation, and depression.

She offers help for stressors at work and social life too, including workplace issues, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Other areas she supports include adoption and foster care challenges, forgiveness work, and trauma-related symptoms like post-traumatic stress. Sessions are practical and geared to everyday life.

Rolanda focuses on small, manageable changes that make daily routines feel easier. She encourages people to try approaches together in session and then bring what works back into their daily lives.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Rolanda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and healing. One common approach she uses involves helping people process trauma and abuse through structured conversations and gradual exposure to difficult memories, which can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on mood regulation and coping skills for anxiety and bipolar symptoms, teaching concrete strategies to manage intense feelings and improve routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist make decisions together about what to focus on in sessions.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make scheduling more flexible and let people access support from home or on the go. Remote sessions allow continuity of care when life gets busy and make it easier to follow through on steps between appointments.
