About Roticia
Roticia Smith is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with six years of clinical experience based in Georgia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on issues such as communication problems, shame and guilt, isolation, panic attacks, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
Her sessions begin with building rapport and understanding what feels most urgent for the person. Roticia uses a client-centered stance, which means she listens first and helps set goals together. She combines that with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused work to address specific thoughts and patterns.
Typical sessions include talking through recent triggers, learning simple skills to manage anxiety or panic, and trying short experiments between meetings. She and the client create a treatment plan that responds to the presenting concerns and is adjusted over time. Progress is checked in regular sessions so plans can shift if needed.
Roticia has worked in intensive outpatient programs, clinical settings, and private practice. That mix of settings informs how she adapts pacing and homework to fit different lives. She aims to make each session straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. The intake helps identify priorities and the first steps of a plan.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Roticia uses client-centered methods that begin with listening and setting practical goals together. This approach focuses on understanding what matters most to the person and organizing sessions around those goals.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT exercises often include short, doable skills to reduce anxiety, manage panic symptoms, and challenge shame-related thinking.
Solution-focused work is used to find concrete next steps and small tests that show whether a new approach helps. These short experiments give quick feedback and help adjust the plan without long waits.
Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and change course based on what helps. That keeps sessions practical and focused on the person's priorities.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to confirm which formats she currently offers and decide what will fit best into everyday life.
