Roxann Francis, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Roxann

Roxann Francis is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and mood-related issues. She works with clients dealing with relationship and family tensions, career stress, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on practical steps parents and caregivers can use right away.

Roxann uses conversations to identify what matters most to each person. She adapts her plan to individual needs instead of following one fixed method.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build motivation, improve coping skills, and increase confidence in everyday life. Her training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered approaches. These tools are used to address thinking patterns, manage intense emotions, and develop realistic action steps.

Roxann has five years of professional experience and holds the credential LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. The focus is on clear, direct support that helps people make small, manageable changes.

She encourages anyone taking the first step toward therapy to be gentle with themselves. Conversations move at a pace set by the client, and the aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online approaches that focus on coping and skills

Roxann commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical skills for daily life. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings run high. DBT offers simple tools to reduce overwhelm and improve responses to conflict or stress.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. Roxann will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client’s life and needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. These options let people connect from home, keep sessions short or longer depending on the topic, and follow up between meetings with messages when needed. The flexibility supports steady progress while balancing family and work responsibilities.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
