Roxane Pakit , LCSW

Roxane Pakit is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with forty years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship struggles. She works with individuals who are coping with parenting challenges, grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, and identity issues related to LGBT matters. Roxane practices in New Jersey and conducts sessions in English.

Roxane aims for straightforward, practical work in the therapy room. She helps clients set clear goals and breaks problems into manageable steps. Conversations focus on day-to-day changes that can improve mood, strengthen communication, and reduce overwhelm.

Her approach draws on client-centered ideas that put each person's values first. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems in place. Dialectical behavior ideas guide skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings get intense.

Roxane combines emotionally-focused and psychodynamic perspectives to look at relationship patterns and early life influences. She often brings attention to attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics when these are relevant. Forgiveness of self and others can be part of recovery when clients find it helpful.

Roxane has worked with people across many backgrounds and life stages. Her style is collaborative and direct - she asks questions, offers tools, and checks in on what is working. New clients are invited to set goals and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

How Roxane’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's needs and values, encouraging open dialogue and self-directed progress. It helps people who want to build confidence and make choices that match their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact. It helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits by teaching practical ways to change thinking patterns and daily routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when strong feelings or relationship conflicts interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Roxane collaborates with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts the plan if something isn’t helping and encourages regular check-ins about progress.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be scheduled on a break from work. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent with busy schedules.
