About Roslyn

Roslyn Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, and those struggling with depression, trauma, addiction, or relationship and parenting concerns. Her manner is warm and direct, aimed at helping people make practical changes that ease day-to-day life.

She focuses on concrete issues like sleeping problems, anger, grief, career stress, and self-esteem. Roslyn also supports people facing life transitions, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She pays attention to how past experiences such as abandonment, adoption or foster care, and attachment issues may shape current struggles.

Roslyn draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. She brings client-centered listening and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential thinking when useful.

In sessions she creates a respectful space where people can talk through painful memories, practice new coping skills, and set achievable goals. She explains tools in everyday language and works at a pace that fits each person’s life.

Roslyn’s practice is based in Mississippi and she works in English. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Costs vary by location and the practice uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Roslyn’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most and take values-driven actions even when emotions are hard. It supports coping with anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on small, meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce worry, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy, offering a nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult feelings and build self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and how they respond to initial sessions. That process may involve testing different tools and adjusting as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow for steady check-ins during life transitions. They also let people try methods like behavioral experiments or skills practice between meetings so therapy can link directly to everyday life.
