Roxann Ellis-Denby , LCSW

Roxann Ellis-Denby is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and trauma. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel easier for someone who is unsure or nervous. Her focus includes women's issues, body image, and workplace strain among other life challenges.

Roxann uses straightforward conversation to build an open space where clients can say what they’re thinking and feeling without judgment. She listens for patterns that keep clients stuck and works with them to try different ways of coping. Sessions emphasize practical skills and small changes that can make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

Over 18 years of practice Roxann has supported people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, and isolation. She pays attention to how mood, impulse control, and relationships connect to other struggles like guilt, shame, and communication problems. Her aim is to help people feel steadier and more in control of their reactions.

Roxann offers a mix of short check-ins and longer sessions that fit what a person needs at the time. She also accepts international clients and provides services in English. People often begin by completing a brief questionnaire to match with her and then scheduling sessions that fit their routines.

She practices in Connecticut as a CT LCSW and brings a calm, practical approach to therapy. Her work is aimed at helping clients find clearer ways forward, one step at a time.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Roxann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. One common approach she uses emphasizes practical skills for managing anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to reduce intense reactions over time. Another strand of her work focuses on processing trauma and abuse in careful, paced steps so people can regain a sense of control and reduce intrusive memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roxann talks with each person about their goals, what has worked before, and what feels manageable now. Together they try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions and live chat can be lower bandwidth and easier to join during a break. Text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people keep momentum and try strategies in real life between meetings.
