About Roslyn

Roslyn Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of practice in Mississippi. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. Social anxiety and phobia are among the issues she lists. She also addresses problems such as sleep disruption, parenting strain, self-esteem, career worries, and coping with life changes.

Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. She also uses Client-Centered therapy to keep conversations focused on the person in front of her.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change. Roslyn helps clients set clear goals, practice new skills between meetings, and track small progress over time. She can discuss tools for managing panic, reducing avoidance, and improving day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes work across many concerns tied to attachment, caregiving stress, chronic illness, codependency, and grief. Roslyn has experience with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She draws on two decades of practice to offer practical steps rather than abstract theory.

People who pick her often want direct conversation and concrete strategies they can use between sessions. To start, she asks about current struggles, what has helped so far, and what a reasonable next step would look like.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to change how problems feel day to day. It is often used for panic, social fears, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Roslyn will discuss which methods make sense for the issue at hand and adapt techniques to fit each person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by shortening travel time, allowing meetings during a lunch break, or choosing audio-only check-ins when bandwidth or a quiet camera setup is difficult. Therapists often use straightforward exercises, mindfulness practices, and behavior experiments that can be tried between meetings to reinforce progress.
