About Roger
Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over three decades of counseling experience. He focuses on practical help for everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and changes in life. Roger aims to make the work clear and useful so people can try small steps that actually fit their lives.
He uses a person-centered style that starts with listening and figuring out what matters to each person. From there he draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas to build strategies that feel doable. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what a person needs right now.
Roger has a long background working in Washington mental health settings and an MSW from the University of Washington. He brings 33 years of experience helping people with mood and thought concerns, coping with trauma, and issues around intimacy and identity. He also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and career distress.
Creative expression is a recurring theme in his work. He often helps people name and move past the barriers that stop them from sharing ideas or art. That can include gentle experiments, practical skills for anxiety or sleep, or ways to manage anger and relationship patterns.
His goal is to help people find strategies that fit their values and daily life. He works with each person to choose tools and next steps that feel realistic and helpful.

Approaches you might use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems. It often includes clear practice tasks between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help with intense emotions or relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you decide what to try and adjust the plan based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, or choose quieter surroundings that help focus. Many people find it simpler to try exercises between meetings and then review progress during sessions. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, track changes, and help adapt methods so work continues to fit daily life.
