About Roger

Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people facing midlife stresses, mood changes, and life transitions. He focuses on practical strategies so clients can manage anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship or career strain. Roger writes plainly and aims to make sessions useful from the first meeting.

With 33 years of clinical experience, he combines a person-centered style with goal-oriented methods. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered practices to shape sessions. That variety lets him adapt to each person’s needs rather than rely on a single method.

Roger often helps people untangle problems that affect daily life, including sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, and complications from chronic illness or caregiving. He also addresses intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and the emotional fallout of life changes like aging or loss.

He pays attention to how attachment and communication patterns influence relationships and personal choices. Sessions explore concrete habits and thoughts, then build small, manageable experiments to test new ways of behaving. Creative expression and imagination are also part of his interest, helping people move past blocks that limit their self-expression.

People who prefer straightforward talk and practical tools may find his style a good fit. To get started, users follow the site’s matching process and schedule a session based on availability.

How Roger’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Roger uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values; this can help with anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that fuel distress and to practice different responses that change mood and behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy is part of his work too, focusing on how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and emotional needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods, and adjust as they learn what helps most. Roger tailors techniques to the person, combining elements from different approaches when that better meets the client’s needs and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let people keep continuity when schedules change. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that better fits a work break or lower-bandwidth connections when video is difficult. Talk with the therapist during the match process about what format would suit your routine and goals best.
