Roxana Phillips , LCMHC

Roxana Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 29 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, intimacy-related concerns, and life transitions. She emphasizes each person's strengths and works alongside clients to untangle overwhelming moments and practical problems.

Roxana uses straightforward, collaborative work. Sessions typically focus on identifying what matters most, testing small changes, and building coping skills that fit daily life. She combines talking, structured exercises, and reflective practices so clients can try new ways of handling old patterns.

Her background includes coaching for professionals and support for people facing compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, and issues tied to aging or end-of-life situations. She also addresses isolation, life purpose questions, midlife change, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and self-love, with attention to concerns that commonly affect women.

Roxana draws on several practical approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, narrative techniques, and solution-focused steps. Those methods are used to map a path forward rather than label a person or problem.

Sessions are offered from North Carolina and conducted in English. The first meetings typically clarify the client's goals and test small, manageable steps so people can see what helps soon after starting.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist offering attentive listening and reflective feedback to help people clarify what they want to change. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, validation, and a clearer sense of their own goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing small behavioral experiments. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and practical problems where changing thinking and behavior can reduce distress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices alongside noticing thoughts and feelings without judgment. It can help reduce reactivity, improve focus, and support coping during life transitions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then try approaches that fit those needs. Techniques can be adjusted as progress is observed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
