About Roxane

Roxane Pakit is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable. Roxane draws on years of practice to help people facing grief, addiction concerns, codependency, parenting strain, and life changes.

She uses straightforward methods that focus on choices, thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Sessions often look at patterns that keep problems repeating and practice new skills to handle daily stressors. Roxane mixes approaches to fit what a person needs rather than sticking to a single method.

Roxane earned her Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and holds a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. Her long career includes working with people from many backgrounds and life situations, which shaped a flexible, respectful way of meeting clients where they are.

In practical terms she works with issues like parenting challenges, communication difficulties, attachment and abandonment concerns, and problems tied to addiction or recovery. She also supports people dealing with bipolar disorder, ADHD, career shifts, and intimacy struggles. Sessions focus on goal-setting, gaining self-awareness, and practicing small changes that add up.

Her style combines client-centered conversations with tools from cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused approaches, along with psychodynamic ideas when useful. Roxane emphasizes collaboration so clients help set the pace and the focus of the work.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps people clarify what matters to them and make steady changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication; it can help with intense emotions and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roxane will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit those goals. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is made and new needs appear.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people meet from a place with fewer distractions or choose an option that needs less bandwidth, depending on technical needs. Licensed professionals tailor the approach to a person’s schedule and everyday life while working toward clear goals.
