About Roseann
Roseann Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of practice in Virginia. She helps people coping with anger, addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and major life changes. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at creating a space where people feel comfortable to talk and try things that may help.
She uses straightforward, practical strategies rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness. Sessions often include setting small, achievable goals to work on between meetings.
Background and approach
Roseann also draws on motivational interviewing and a client-centered style to meet people where they are and build on their strengths. Much of her recent work has focused on supporting people with substance use and behavioral health concerns.
She has also worked with people living with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and major depression, helping them develop coping skills to manage intense feelings and day-to-day functioning. Earlier in her career she worked at a college counseling center and supported young adults navigating the transition to greater independence.
That experience informs how she helps with relationship challenges, communication problems, and the pressures that come with new adult roles. Roseann aims to be approachable and sometimes lighthearted in sessions to help reduce tension. She collaborates with each person to identify steps that feel doable and relevant, and she adapts strategies based on what the person finds most helpful.

Using evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and building a respectful relationship so people can explore what matters most to them; it helps with motivation and finding personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying practical tools and experiments to change them, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and mood problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roseann will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches or a mix of methods that feel like the best fit. She adapts plans over time based on what works in practice.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual connection, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to work through steps between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
