About Roseann
Roseann Zelaya is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Roseann helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps in everyday life.
Her approach centers on listening first and building a straightforward working relationship. Sessions are a place to talk through difficult thoughts and patterns and to work on practical steps that fit daily routines. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person and to encourage honest conversation.
Roseann also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. That can mean small experiments between sessions, simple coping skills, or reframing problems so they feel more manageable. She includes strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when people need concrete ways to manage strong emotions and improve coping skills.
Her background includes helping people with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and substance use concerns such as drug and alcohol addiction. She also addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness, isolation, and building self-love.
People who choose her often want practical tools and straight talk about making changes. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to lay out goals and next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Roseann uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a conversation that follows what matters most to the person seeking help. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and letting the client's priorities guide each session. It is useful when someone needs a space to sort through feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions can include practice exercises, thought records, and small between-session tasks to test new ways of coping with anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be taught and practiced in session.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That may mean focusing more on CBT skills one month and DBT skills the next, depending on progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work on skills from their everyday environment.
