About Rosemary
Rosemary Maltese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. Rosemary also addresses parenting challenges, grief, ADHD, and caregiving strain among other life stresses.
Her approach centers on listening and helping people clarify practical goals. She uses client-centered methods to build on strengths and then applies solution-focused steps and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Rosemary also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and present-moment noticing.
For people who have experienced trauma, she may integrate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address distressing memories alongside stabilizing skills. She pays attention to family of origin issues and how past relationships can affect current patterns, including codependency, attachment concerns, and abandonment themes. She names specific life transitions and career or parenting stress as common topics in sessions.
Rosemary typically helps people map small, manageable changes rather than promising quick fixes. She explains interventions in clear terms and works with clients to try practical strategies between sessions. People who want a straightforward, skills-based approach that also considers personal history often find this style accessible.
Her practice is based in Tennessee and sessions are conducted in English. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the platform options provided.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions let the therapist and client set goals together and work at a comfortable pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. CBT works well over a series of focused online sessions with homework and skill practice. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication, which can be taught and practiced during virtual meetings.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Rosemary works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She may blend techniques and will check in about what is helping and what to change as therapy progresses.
The profile does not list the exact session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into daily life easier by removing travel and offering shorter or more regular check-ins when needed. It can also let people use phone or video options that suit quieter surroundings or less bandwidth. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to find an arrangement that fits your routine.
