If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your emotions, or constantly fighting your own mind, you’re not alone. Many teens and adults I work with describe racing thoughts, intense feelings, difficulty focusing, or patterns that feel impossible to break. Whether it’s anxiety that won’t quiet down, depression that drains your energy, ADHD that makes daily life harder than it should be, or trauma that still echoes in the present—I help people find steadiness, clarity, and confidence again.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Mississippi and the state of Michigan.

I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!) and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Before moving to Jackson, Miss. for graduate school, I worked with Cru (a campus ministry) for three years on the Ole Miss campus.

While living in Oxford, I also worked as the Administrative Assistant at Grace Bible Church of Oxford for two years.

Through receiving counseling in my own life, my desire grew to sit with and serve those experiencing darkness, hardship, or hurt in their own life. I want to utilize my life experience and education to walk alongside my clients as they uncover and develop their own internal resources.

Something often gets lost between what you're carrying and how you talk about it. For clients who find it easier in Spanish, or who want a therapist who works with mind and body together, that gap can feel especially wide. I'm Roxanna, a bilingual (Spanish/English) social worker in Michigan with an integrative, eclectic approach. I work with children, teens, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, relationship strain, cultural and identity pressures, and more. Whether you speak English, Spanish, or move between both, all of you is welcome here. I would love to be that space.

In-Network, or Cash-Option, Virtual Care for

High-functioning anxiety, High-functioning depression, Family Dynamics & Life Transitions

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to providing accessible, top-tier virtual care across Michigan.

I take a developmental approach to counseling rather than a mental illness approach. Instead of treating you like a diagnosis to be fixed, I work with high-achieving adults who look perfectly put together on the outside but are navigating natural, yet deeply challenging, developmental crossroads.

Whether you are riding the high-stress waves of high-functioning anxiety, depression, or burnout, my practice is built to support the distinct needs of women in key life stages navigating complex family dynamics and milestone shifts.

I skip pathologizing clinical jargon to help you build practical emotional regulation tools, recover from issues, and overcome the quiet ache of loneliness.

Hello!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (state of MI) and Psychotherapist. I work as an in-person psychotherapist in California at the federal level. I currently am able to offer virtual mental health therapy sessions to Michigan residents through Headway as well. I refuse to give up my Michigan roots. I love my home state!

I am a graduate from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor for my undergraduate (BA in Brain, Behavior and Cognitive Science) and graduate (Master of Social Work) education. Go blue! I accept Spartans as clients too, don't worry. (Go green! Go white! 😀)

I have over a decade of experience in trauma work, grief, depression, managing psychosocial stress, anxiety, building self-esteem, helping people set boundaries with themselves and others, learn how to own their own space in this ever-evolving world, and so much more!

I believe a diagnosis is only a part of a person NOT the person's entire identity. The truth is, we all have problems, some are just better at hiding them. So, no judgement here. You deserve to feel loved, respected, and appreciated by others, but above all else, by yourself.

Tell me how I can help and if you don't know, let's figure it out together.

Therapist

I hold two clinical credentials: an LPC and a QIDP — a Qualified Intellectual Disability Professional — which means my clinical training extends across a wide range of presentations, and I bring that breadth to every client I see.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, maternal mental health, infertility, grief, relationship stress, and the complicated emotions that come with life transitions like divorce and parenthood. I believe you already have the strengths to get through this — my job is to help you find and build on them.

My style is laid back and warm, with a sense of humor that tends to take the edge off. You deserve a therapist you can actually talk to, and I take that seriously.
