Roxana Phillips

Roxana Phillips is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 29 years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, and major life changes. Roxana also offers executive and professional coaching to those rethinking work direction or leadership roles.

She practices from a view that clients are the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on the client's strengths and practical next steps. Conversations tend to be straightforward and geared toward what someone can try between meetings.

Roxana uses techniques drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy among other approaches. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and stay present when emotions are intense. Solution-Focused and Narrative tools are added when useful to rewrite problem stories and clarify short-term goals.

She has worked across settings that shaped her ability to support people through transitions. That experience informs work with caregivers, people facing aging or end-of-life questions, and those coping with isolation or disaster-related stress.

Practical concerns like Seasonal Affective Disorder, midlife reevaluation, life purpose, and self-love are within her focus. Roxana invites clients to explore what matters next and to develop clear, manageable steps forward.

How Roxana’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects what matters most and helps a person test options that feel right. This approach is helpful when someone is sorting values, relationships, or life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses clear exercises to try new ways of thinking and acting between sessions. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and changing routines that get in the way of goals.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and physical reactions without getting swept up by them. Short practices can reduce reactivity and help someone stay present during decisions or difficult conversations.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Roxana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as things evolve. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust techniques together.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats she offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try therapeutic tools between sessions in their everyday context.
