More about Roian

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and Texas, credentialed in substance abuse counseling as a Certified Reciprocal Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CRADC). I have over 6-years of professional work experience, including but not limited to helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, career counseling, spirituality, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, imposter syndrome, emotional intelligence, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, abandonment, rejection, safety, and security issues. I have also worked with clients with clinical mental illnesses and personality disorders. I spent time training and working in Behavioral Health and Substance Use Agencies before going into private practice (see The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illnesses). Additionally, I am well-versed in Medicated-Assisted-Treatment (MAT).

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the Human Services field for ten years with individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. I also have a vast array of personal life experience in the areas in which I specialize. While I do not think we must have experienced what our fellow man/woman is going through to empathize with them, I believe that, in my case, it directed my path to the field of therapy/counseling.

My therapeutic approach will be tailored to your specific needs, and you and I will work together to determine your therapy goals. It's okay if you don't know or feel the list is too long to mention. Together we will find the answers you are looking for to help guide you in your journey.

I will work with you to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. The first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life is courage. I am here to support you in that process, and I am so proud of you for taking that first step already.

(Office hours flexible: 9 am to 6 pm and Saturday)

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I’m so glad I got Roian for my therapist!! I was skeptical about trying therapy again but I’m thankful I gave it one more shot! She literally helped me from our very first session. She listened to me and is so easy to talk to, and she got me going on some worksheets and some “homework” that have really gotten me to see things. She really “gets it” and is genuinely a very caring person who wants to help. Thank you Roian!!

Roian, had helped me navigate the stressors in my life and provided me with the tools to empower me to be the support I need for myself. She has given me invaluable information, hope and a sense of self and self worth. I am aware of when to ask for help or signs I may be struggling that I have in the past chose to ignore. Thank you for being an advocate for me and having the confidence in me helped me do that for myself.

Professionally Roian is beyond knowledgeable. However, personally Roian has the ability to connect because of her spiritual soul if-you-will. And, because of her spiritual soul, Roian has an amazing ability to understand you, with empathy and sympathy. Therefore, Roian provides you with wisdom that I believe to be a Godsend.
