About Roian
Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She draws on six years of counseling work to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and mood concerns. Baalman uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions.
She focuses on clear goals and simple tools that can be used between meetings. People come to her for help with grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in behavioral health and substance use settings before moving into independent practice. She also spent ten years in human services supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities, which shaped her interest in therapy. That combination of agency work and independent practice informs her perspective.
In sessions she blends approaches to fit each person. Techniques aim to address unhelpful thoughts, manage strong emotions, and build healthier patterns of behavior and connection. She pays attention to attachment and to how past relationships affect current struggles.
Roian also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and codependency. She mentions experience with medication-assisted treatment in substance use care when relevant to a person's situation. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.
She invites clients to set goals together and uses practical steps so people can notice change between sessions.
How Roian’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and improve daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, practical for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process means approaches can be combined or shifted as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online formats provide flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day and to follow up between visits. These options make consistent care more practical for different schedules and life demands.
