Roger Midgett

Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship problems. He takes a direct, down-to-earth approach and aims to help clients find practical strategies that fit their life. Roger speaks English and practices in Washington.

Roger uses a person-centered style that focuses on the client's priorities. He draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape sessions. That means sessions often include identifying values, building small behavior changes, and learning skills to tolerate strong emotions.

With a long background that includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington and years in county mental health settings, Roger brings experience working across mood and thought disorders. He also supports people facing issues like trauma, parenting strain, caregiving stress, self-esteem, and challenges around intimacy and identity.

Roger often helps clients restore creativity and expression that have been blocked by fear or shame. Work in therapy can include practical exercises, behavioral experiments, and discussion about how to take manageable risks to share ideas and art with others. The pace is set by the client and focused on real-world steps.

Clients who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Roger uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and he does not take international clients.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful when strong feelings make daily life hard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may draw from one model or mix techniques as progress and challenges emerge.

The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let someone continue care when relocating within the state. Ask about specific session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your needs.
