About Roxane

Roxane Pakit is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four decades of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, addiction issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps people can use right away.

Roxane draws on a mix of therapy styles to meet each person where they are. She uses client-centered work to listen and build goals together. She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify a pattern and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally focused ideas help with closeness and repair in relationships.

Her long career has included work with people from many backgrounds and life situations. That experience informs a flexible way of working that fits different cultural and family contexts. She pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics shape day-to-day problems.

Sessions emphasize learning skills for mood and anger management, building healthier communication, and strengthening coping with life changes. She also addresses substance and behavioral addictions alongside emotional issues like grief and emptiness. The goal is clearer choices and more manageable reactions to stressors.

Roxane earned a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and holds an LCSW in New Jersey. She invites collaboration on treatment goals and supports clients as they practice new skills between sessions.

How Roxane’s Approaches Translate Online

Roxane integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and setting goals together, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills when those tools fit a person’s needs. These approaches are helpful for stress, anger management, relationship strains, and coping with life changes. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals and preferences.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review what’s working, try skill-based exercises, and adjust plans as needed. Clients can expect a mix of talk, skills practice, and homework focused on real-life situations.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from appointments. Licensed professionals use these formats to help people build skills and make steady progress.
