About Roxann
Roxann Ellis-Denby is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship strain. She writes simply and listens closely so clients can talk about what matters. Her plain approach is meant to make the first steps feel easier to take.
She draws on 18 years of experience working with people affected by trauma and abuse and with those coping with depression and panic. Sessions focus on practical ways to notice triggers, calm intense feelings, and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at skills that can be used between appointments. Roxann also supports people facing chronic pain, caregiver strain, workplace stress, and struggles with body image or self-worth. She helps clients untangle guilt, shame, isolation, and impulsivity so they can make clearer choices in daily life.
Communication skills and pacing are common parts of her work. Her style centers on building trust and giving people room to describe their experience. She prioritizes clear goals and step-by-step plans so progress feels measurable.
The tone is practical and compassionate rather than clinical. To begin, she asks people to share what they hope to change and what has been most difficult. From there she and the person plan short-term goals and the methods to reach them.
This gives structure to sessions while keeping the focus on each person’s immediate needs and strengths.

Practical approaches for online work and emotion regulation
Roxann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping people calm intense emotions and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach teaches concrete skills for noticing triggers and reducing physiological arousal so anger and panic become easier to manage; it is useful for stress, panic attacks, and sudden outbursts. Another approach emphasizes building clearer communication and problem-solving steps so relationship conflicts and workplace stress are easier to address; this helps people express needs and set boundaries in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist works collaboratively, asking about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and personal preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so methods match changing needs and comfort levels.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let people practice skills and role-play conversations while maintaining face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be used when internet bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick support, brief skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity between sessions.
