Roxane Pakit, LCSW

Roxane Pakit is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four decades of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, addictions, grief, and changes in life. Roxane focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people cope and relate to others. She aims to help clients find clearer choices and more steady routines that make daily life easier.

Roxane draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and shift small behaviors that get in the way. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Emotionally-Focused ideas are part of how she helps people manage strong emotions and improve connections.

Her training began with a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and she has held a New Jersey LCSW license since the early 1980s. That long experience includes work with people from many different backgrounds and life circumstances. She has helped clients face issues such as trauma, attachment and family conflict, adoption and foster care concerns, and addiction-related problems.

In sessions Roxane aims for clear, practical steps and steady progress. She emphasizes self-awareness, forgiveness of self and others, and better communication skills. Clients can expect a collaborative style that focuses on real-life habits and choices that support change.

Her practice includes attention to ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and caregiver strain. Roxane encourages clients to set goals together and try approaches that fit their day-to-day needs.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respectful listening and meeting clients where they are. It helps people feel heard and supports them in deciding what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping in tough moments.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Roxane will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight. They also let people try approaches like CBT homework or emotion regulation skills in real-life settings and then discuss results in the next meeting.
