About Roxann
Roxann Francis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, life transitions, relationship and family issues, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Roxann uses straightforward conversation to identify the practical problems that make life harder. She listens for what matters most, then focuses on skills and small changes that can ease daily strain. Sessions concentrate on realistic steps people can try between meetings to test what helps.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT ideas for managing strong emotions and improving coping. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are added when they fit the client's aims.
Roxann emphasizes planning that connects to work, family, and other everyday pressures. She talks through ways to handle tricky interactions, overflowing schedules, and the fatigue that comes from giving too much to others. The result is practical support meant to fit real life rather than abstract theories.
To start, Roxann asks a few questions about current concerns and priorities. That helps shape the first sessions so time is spent on the most pressing problems. If someone wants clear steps and a pragmatic focus, she lays out options and works collaboratively on what to try next.
BHow sessions work
How Roxann’s approaches translate to online work
Roxann often combines client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral techniques online. Client-centered work means the sessions focus on the client's goals and priorities, with the therapist following the client's lead to identify what matters most. Cognitive behavioral techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. DBT ideas teach concrete skills for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and keeping relationships steadier. These approaches are used together to address mood disorders, parenting stress, and daily-life pressures in manageable steps.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Roxann will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts course as needed. The plan is practical and revisited regularly so sessions stay aligned with changing priorities.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how a first meeting will take place. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. Licensed professionals use these options to help clients practice new skills in the context of their everyday schedules.
