About Roger
Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, mood problems, and life changes. He uses plain language and practical tools so conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters to each person. He combines several approaches to match what a person needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult feelings while moving toward personal values.
Background and approach
Client-centered work keeps sessions grounded in the person's goals and pace. With over three decades of experience in counseling and behavioral interventions, he brings long-term clinical work to everyday worries. He has worked extensively in Washington, including time with county mental health services, and draws from that background when planning care.
Roger pays attention to relationships, attachment patterns, and how past loss or trauma can shape present reactions. He also spends time on creativity and expression, helping people clear blocks that stop them from sharing their ideas or art. Sessions aim to produce usable strategies for sleeping, coping with grief, managing addiction urges, improving communication, and handling work or caregiving strain.
The first meetings focus on what the person wants to change and which methods feel most helpful. Over time, therapy is adjusted to fit evolving goals and daily life demands.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match a person's values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making changes that matter in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and mood concerns.
Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the person's goals and pace, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through issues like grief, relationship strain, or creative blocks.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. If an approach does not feel right, adjustments are made together so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief updates, between-session support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other life demands.
