About Roxane
Roxane Johnson is a licensed psychotherapist and life coach with an MD and an LCPC and 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and relationship problems. Her style is warm and interactive, offering straightforward support and guidance.
She blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused approaches. That means sessions often start with listening to what matters most, then trying small, practical steps to change thoughts and actions that get in the way.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person's goals rather than following a fixed script. Roxane has worked with people facing trauma, post-traumatic stress, emotional and physical abuse, and adults coping with childhood hurt. She also helps with mood disorders, ADHD, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and career stress.
Her experience includes working with addiction and compulsive behaviors as well. In sessions she aims to be respectful and nonjudgmental. She focuses on building trust and helping people notice patterns that fuel anger or avoidant responses.
Work often includes practical skills, small experiments, and motivational conversations to keep change moving forward. Roxane offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. She works with people across different backgrounds and pays attention to multicultural concerns and attachment issues when they affect daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. Online sessions using this approach give space for people to tell their story while the therapist reflects concerns and values, which can help with anger, shame, or relationship pain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors feed each other. In an online session this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments between meetings, and tracking progress in straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety and anger reactions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with emotions to change how they respond in close relationships. In remote sessions the therapist guides emotional awareness and gentle practice of new responses that can improve intimacy and reduce reactive anger.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative stance helps tailor work to each person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for exercises and role play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
