About Roxanne

Roxanne Roybal de Diaz uses evidence-based therapies to help families and parents facing everyday struggles. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 13 years of experience. Roxanne focuses on clear, practical steps and honest conversation to address what matters most to you.

She talks plainly and works alongside clients to find realistic strategies that fit family life. Her practice centers on helping with parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, and relationship and family problems.

Background and approach

She also addresses concerns like ADHD, self-esteem, eating issues, anger, and intimacy-related difficulties. Roxanne adapts proven methods so they are useful for routines at home and for moments when families feel overwhelmed. Roxanne draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices.

She explains techniques in simple terms and shows how to use them between sessions. The goal is to build skills that help day-to-day parenting and family interactions. Sessions may cover communication patterns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, attachment and family-of-origin issues, and coping with major life changes.

Roxanne practices with respect for each family’s background and values. She partners with parents to set goals and to track small, practical changes over time. Parents and caregivers can expect a calm, direct approach that focuses on problem solving and skill building.

Roxanne aims to make therapy a useful part of family life rather than another stressor. She supports clients through practical tools and steady guidance.

How therapy approaches translate to online family support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions that line up with what matters. It is useful for parents who feel stuck or overwhelmed and want to act differently in stressful moments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through simple exercises and practice. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and managing daily parenting challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication skills that can ease conflict at home and support better interactions between family members.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. Roxanne will discuss goals and preferences, explain options, and help choose methods that fit your family’s needs. She combines approaches as needed and adjusts plans based on what is most helpful in sessions and at home.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to follow up between sessions. Remote sessions allow parents to practice new skills in real time and bring concrete family issues into the conversation from their everyday environment.

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.
