About Roxane

Roxane Johnson is a licensed clinician who practices with a trauma-informed, person-centered focus. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and brings 20 years of experience to conversations about change. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to treat people with respect and compassion.

Roxane uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and mood concerns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused ideas to shape sessions.

Background and approach

That means sessions often include clear, doable steps and chances to try new ways of thinking and acting between meetings. Her background includes working with trauma, post-traumatic stress, addiction, emotional and physical abuse, and attention challenges. She also focuses on relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, sleep and eating problems, and work or career stress.

Roxane pays attention to attachment, family of origin patterns, shame and guilt, and multicultural factors that affect how people cope. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs. Roxane collaborates on goals and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

She also uses motivational interviewing when people need help finding the drive to make changes. People who reach out can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and concrete steps they can try between sessions. Roxane supports practical progress while acknowledging how past experiences shape present struggles.

Practical therapies adapted for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding without judgment so the person feels heard and understood; it helps when someone needs empathy and space to sort out feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and attachment needs to improve closeness and emotional regulation; it can be helpful for intimacy-related worries and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Roxane works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit each person's needs and goals. She adapts techniques over time, blends approaches when helpful, and checks in to make sure the plan is working for the person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins and ongoing encouragement. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work on skills between meetings.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
