About Romia

Romia "Mia" Evans Baggs is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of practice. She works from Texas and brings steady, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Her manner is warm and interactive.

She aims to make each conversation clear and straightforward for a worried parent reading on a phone. Mia listens first, then builds a plan that fits the person in front of her.

Background and approach

She draws on tools from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-focused approaches to help with thinking patterns and coping skills. She also uses techniques from emotionally-focused and dialectical methods when emotions and relationships are central. Sessions focus on immediate problems and small, doable steps.

She helps clients talk through relationship tensions, parenting strains, work stress, and issues tied to trauma or loss. Mia also addresses concerns such as addictions, sleep and eating problems, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her style mixes practical skill-building with empathetic conversation.

That means learning new ways to respond to stress, trying strategies between sessions, and checking what works. Plans are adapted to each person's pace and goals. Mia is licensed in Texas as LCSW and has experience supporting people through major changes.

Conversations are in English and designed to be straight talk with respect and sensitivity.

Approaches that guide online sessions and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It teaches concrete strategies to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and improving interaction patterns, which can be useful for relationship and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns and recommend techniques that fit your needs and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what helps most.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around school, work, and parenting duties, and to practice skills in day-to-day life. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping tools, guide exercises, and check progress between meetings.

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.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
