Roxane Pakit, LCSW

Roxane Pakit is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four decades of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and life transitions. Roxane aims to make therapy understandable and useful on a daily level.

She uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. Sessions often center on clear, collaborative goal setting and building skills that work at home and at work. Roxane draws on client-centered listening to hear what matters most and then pairs that with tools from cognitive behavioral methods and emotion-focused work.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and long practice in New Jersey across many communities. That experience informs a flexible style that adapts to differing cultural and socioeconomic situations. She works with issues connected to family, parenting, attachment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and blended family dynamics.

Roxane also addresses concerns such as anger, intimacy and self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and substance-related problems. She places emphasis on communication skills, forgiveness of self and others, and navigating adjustments like military-to-civilian life. The focus is on practical steps people can try between sessions.

People who prefer straightforward conversation and concrete strategies may find her approach helpful. Roxane encourages clients to take part in choosing goals and methods so therapy reflects personal priorities and real-life needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what each person says. It helps people feel heard and decide which changes matter most in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress in day-to-day situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping skills for strong emotions and improving relationships, with techniques for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend ways to proceed. That choice is collaborative and can change as you make progress or face new challenges.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a lunch break, and sessions that do not require video can reduce bandwidth needs. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in the environments where they live, work, and parent. Ask about the current offerings to match session logistics to your routine.
