About Roseann
Roseann Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship and family strain, grief, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and major life changes.
She sees addiction and trauma as often linked and treats both together when needed. She has recent experience with substance use and behavioral health issues and has supported people with severe mood disorders to develop practical coping strategies. Her background also includes time at a college student counseling center, so she is familiar with young adult concerns around relationships and the shift into independent life.
Her approach is grounded and direct. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation, and Motivational Interviewing to support change. Mindfulness practices are used to help manage stress and anxiety.
She often works with clients to set concrete goals between sessions. These are small, achievable steps that came up during conversation and that clients can try in daily life. Roseann aims to make sessions straightforward and usable rather than academic.
Sessions tend to focus on practical problem solving, skill building, and finding resources that reduce intense reactions after trauma. People who want clear strategies and steady support may find her style aligns with their needs.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps build trust, clarifies the client’s goals, and keeps sessions grounded in the client's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It provides tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that keep problems like depression and anxiety going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It can be useful when someone needs tools for emotional regulation and coping during stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, make it easier to keep appointments around work or school, and allow brief check-ins when a short update would help. Ask during scheduling which formats are available and how they might match your schedule and goals.
