About Roxane

Roxane Johnson is a licensed psychotherapist and MD with two decades of clinical experience in Maryland. Her practice centers on practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress.

Background and approach

She combines that structured work with client-centered and solution-focused elements to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her background includes extensive work with trauma, including adults who experienced childhood abuse, as well as a broad range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and attention-related challenges like ADHD.

Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating concerns, mood disorders, dissociation, and multicultural considerations. Roxane describes her approach as warm and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while remaining goal-oriented.

She offers practical tools alongside empathic support to help clients navigate life transitions, manage symptoms, and pursue healthier relationships and coping strategies. She welcomes those ready to take steps toward change and aims to empower clients through collaborative planning and focused therapeutic work.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Roxane often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and skill-based, making it well suited to structured online sessions focused on problem areas like anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathy and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while they explore personal concerns and build insight.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roxane works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, then adapts techniques and pacing to find the best fit. That flexibility helps shape a treatment plan that balances skills practice, emotional processing, and real-world application.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical advantages for many clients. These options increase scheduling flexibility, reduce travel time, and allow for continued work during life transitions or when in-person visits are difficult, while still enabling regular contact with a licensed professional and focused therapeutic support.
