About Roslyn
Roslyn Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her work also addresses relationship strain, grief, sleep troubles, parenting stress, and challenges tied to ADHD and addiction.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that make a real difference. Clients can expect a calm, respectful tone and an emphasis on skills they can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Roslyn draws on several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She blends these methods to match what a person needs, whether that means changing unhelpful thinking, building emotional regulation skills, or clarifying personal values.
Across two decades of practice in Mississippi she has supported people through major life changes, chronic health challenges, caregiving strain, and work-related burnout. Her experience includes helping people navigate abandonment issues, attachment concerns, and the impacts of adoption or foster care. Sessions move at a practical pace.
The focus is on concrete tools - coping strategies, communication techniques, and decision-making support. Roslyn aims to make therapy understandable and usable, with clear goals and simple homework when helpful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, supports people in clarifying what matters to them and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps with anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes by focusing on meaningful goals rather than only symptom reduction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new routines for sleep, mood, and daily functioning. This can be useful for depression, anxiety, and many stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are often used when people struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or recurring patterns of self-criticism.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, DBT, or a mix that fits the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video is good for in-depth work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, homework review, or steady coaching between longer meetings.
