About Roxane
Roxane Pakit is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four decades of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, stress, addictions, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns. She also supports clients facing trauma, grief, intimacy issues, and challenges related to ADHD or bipolar mood concerns.
Roxane draws on straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Conversations are practical and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and coping skills.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and a long career as an LCSW in New Jersey. Those years of practice mean she has worked with people from many economic, cultural, and religious backgrounds. In therapy she uses a mix of approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, and psychodynamic perspectives.
She tailors what she uses to the problem at hand, whether that is panic, grief, communication breakdown, or addictive behavior. Sessions focus on concrete steps - improving communication, managing strong emotions, reducing avoidance, and rebuilding trust in relationships. Roxane emphasizes collaboration, self-awareness, and practical tools that clients can use between sessions.
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-knowledge, and a partner in deciding goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, tackle avoidance, and change unhelpful patterns that fuel phobias or depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds tools for managing intense emotions and improving regulation. It is useful for people who struggle with mood swings, strong anger, or impulsive behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and daily challenges, then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the work stays relevant.
Online sessions can fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and practice new skills between meetings.
