About Roger

Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over three decades of experience. He focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and self esteem concerns. Roger speaks plain language and aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable from the first session.

He uses a person-centered, solution-focused style that centers the person's goals. Roger blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Attachment-Based and client-centered ways of working. He will talk with clients about specific strategies and skills to try, then adapt based on what is helpful.

Roger has a long history of clinical work in Washington, including work linked to regional mental health services. That background informs his focus on mood and thought disorders and on life stressors like career challenges, caregiving strain, and relationship difficulties. He also addresses intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

He is interested in creativity and imagination and often supports people who want to overcome blocks to expressing themselves. Sessions can include practical behavioral steps, values-based work, and attention to attachment patterns that influence relationships and self worth.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and self esteem struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change patterns that maintain depression or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roger treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss different methods with each person. Together they decide which techniques feel most useful and adapt them over time to fit the client's goals and experiences.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn how he is offering sessions. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and reduce the need to travel. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely lets them practice new skills in the context of everyday life and then bring observations back to sessions for adjustment.
