About Roger
Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with three decades of counseling experience. He offers direct, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, bipolar challenges, and anger concerns. He speaks English and practices from Washington.
He uses a person-centered approach that focuses on what the client needs right now. Sessions aim to identify clear, usable strategies so people can manage emotions and take steps forward.
Background and approach
Roger pays attention to mood, thought patterns, and how they affect daily life. His work draws on several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered principles. He adapts techniques to each person rather than applying a single method.
Roger also helps people who struggle with intimacy, relationship issues, family stress, parenting strain, and identity concerns such as LGBT matters. He has experience addressing complex problems like trauma, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and compounding conditions. He is interested in creativity and imagination and supports people who want to move past blocks to express themselves.
In sessions he helps people prepare for the risks and rewards of sharing their work or parts of themselves with others. Roger aims for collaborative, straightforward work that leaves clients with concrete tools they can use between sessions.

Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. It helps with anxiety, depression, and persistent stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical exercises and homework to change patterns that maintain problems. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for anger, emotional reactivity, and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roger will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That may mean mixing ACT with CBT skills or emphasizing DBT techniques when emotion regulation is a priority. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video calls are good when visual connection matters, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging offers quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep regular appointments, practice skills in everyday moments, and maintain momentum toward change.
