Roxane Johnson , MD, LCPC

Roxane Johnson is a Maryland-based psychotherapist who brings 20 years of clinical experience to each appointment. She holds an MD and practices as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and she focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. Her style is warm and interactive and she talks plainly about steps people can take to feel better.

Roxane helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also supports clients facing grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating struggles, and mood disorders such as bipolar. She works with issues related to ADHD, multicultural concerns, and compassion fatigue and addresses problems that come from family of origin and attachment wounds.

Her approach combines Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Solution-Focused work. Sessions often include gently challenging unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioral changes, and building on strengths that already exist. She also uses Emotionally-Focused techniques to help people name and shift patterns in close relationships.

Roxane describes her sessions as collaborative. She listens first, then tailors a plan to the person in front of her. People can expect straightforward goals, practical coping steps, and guidance for managing crises or setbacks.

She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Roxane works with people who want support through life changes, healing after trauma, or help rebuilding self-esteem and connection.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns back, and helps clarify goals that feel right for the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often includes short between-session tasks, tracking moods or behaviors, and step-by-step practice. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and shift emotional responses in relationships by naming feelings and trying new interaction patterns; it can be used to work through attachment or intimacy issues during video sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time and sessions can combine elements from different approaches as needed.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options help make therapy flexible and easier to schedule while keeping treatment focused on real goals and daily life changes.
