About Roxann

Roxann Francis is a licensed LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, parenting challenges, and relationship or career difficulties. She brings five years of professional experience to work with people facing depression, bipolar mood symptoms, compassion fatigue, and transitions that require new coping strategies.

Background and approach

Roxann emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as core elements of her therapeutic presence, aiming to create space where clients feel heard and understood. Her approach is collaborative and individualized; she adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances and goals.

Techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and client-centered therapy inform her work, allowing practical skills training alongside empathic support. Roxann encourages and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy, and she focuses on helping clients develop tools for resilience, self-esteem, and clearer decision-making in daily life.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building

Roxann integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work to provide both structured skills and empathic support. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing concrete strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and tailoring the conversation to the client, creating a collaborative environment for exploring goals and values.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and interpersonal skills are primary concerns; DBT offers practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Choosing which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with clients to determine what methods fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Roxann is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, practice new skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
