About Roian

Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She uses straightforward, collaborative care to help people facing strong emotions and life challenges, including anger and stress. Roian keeps sessions practical and focused on what matters to each person.

She draws on several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. Roian often uses acceptance and commitment techniques to clarify values and take manageable steps. She also applies cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to steady intense feelings.

Background and approach

Roian has six years of professional experience and earlier work in human services. That background included supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities and roles in behavioral health and substance use settings. She brings that history into the work without assuming every story is the same.

People come to Roian for a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleeping and eating difficulties, self-esteem, career questions, and managing strong anger. She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, attachment wounds, and dissociation.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Roian helps clients set objectives together, try small experiments between sessions, and build skills they can use day to day. She keeps the tone direct and compassionate while encouraging steady progress.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care

Roian commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people connect with their values and take small, purposeful steps even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building new behaviors that reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roian will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then tailor methods so they fit the issue at hand. This helps ensure work stays relevant and usable between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering different practical benefits. Video lets a therapist and client work face to face when discussion and visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick updates, skill practice, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep applying new skills between appointments.
