He brings a steady, compassionate presence to sessions and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.

He draws on over a decade of clinical experience and life experience to guide work around PTSD, anxiety, and relational wounds. Sessions emphasize safety, respect, and practical steps toward change. Roger helps clients strengthen resilience, reconnect with their values, and rebuild trust where it has been damaged.

Roger often uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in his work, choosing methods that fit each person’s situation. He addresses concerns such as anger, depression, sleeping problems, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing career strain, parenting stress, and intimacy-related issues.

Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, first responder and veteran concerns, multicultural challenges, and traumatic brain injury. He approaches complex or longstanding problems with patience and clear, goal-focused planning.

Roger works from Florida and communicates in English. He is listed as accepting international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to his availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Roger uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are aimed at clear, step-by-step change. Cognitive Processing Therapy is a structured approach that helps people rethink and process upsetting memories and beliefs after trauma. It often suits those carrying intrusive memories, guilt, or stuck patterns of thinking after traumatic events.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It is conversational and goal-oriented and can be useful for addressing addictions, ambivalence about change, or building commitment to new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Roger will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life demands and then suggest techniques that fit. The choice of methods is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations, which helps when schedules or geography are limiting. Together you and the therapist can plan how sessions will fit into daily routines and goals.
