About Roxane
Roxane Pakit is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anger, depression, and difficult life changes. She offers straightforward support for anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

Roxane brings forty years of clinical experience to her work in New Jersey. She earned a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and has practiced across diverse communities and backgrounds.
Background and approach
That long experience shapes a calm, measured way of talking through problems and planning next steps. She blends several approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and routine reactions.
Client-centered methods focus on listening and following the client's pace. Emotionally-Focused and psychodynamic ideas are used when patterns from relationships or earlier life events are getting in the way. In sessions Roxane focuses on clear goals and practical skills.
She may teach coping strategies for anger and stress, communication techniques for strained relationships, and problem-solving steps for parenting or career concerns. Work can include looking at past patterns when that helps make sense of present reactions. Her background includes experience with trauma, grief, attachment and family issues, substance use, and identity-related concerns.
Roxane describes therapy as a collaborative effort where clients set goals and she helps them build usable tools for everyday life.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience and pacing, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering reflective listening to help clarify goals and choices. This approach can be useful for people dealing with stress, identity questions, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete changes. It works well for anxiety, depression, anger management, and coping skills by giving clear steps and exercises to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds a focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is helpful when intense emotions or relationship conflicts make daily functioning harder, and it offers practical techniques to steady reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Roxane will listen to your concerns and preferences, explain options in plain language, and together decide which methods to try. Changes are tested and adjusted over time so the plan fits your goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills coaching, phone can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works for brief updates or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
