About Rosemary
Rosemary Maltese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 11 years of experience. She focuses on common household and life strains like stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, relationship issues, and grief. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career concerns, and ADHD related challenges.
She uses a client-centered way of working that keeps the person's goals in view. That means sessions focus on what the individual brings and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are part of her approach when helpful for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
For people coping with family of origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, or communication problems, she pays attention to how family patterns affect everyday life. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, codependency, commitment concerns, and the strain of divorce or separation. The emphasis is on noticing patterns and learning concrete skills to handle them.
When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, Rosemary includes techniques aimed at processing painful memories and reducing their day-to-day impact. Mindfulness practices are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and calm. Her ways of working aim to combine practical strategies with steady support during difficult transitions.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is about focusing on the person's goals and lived experience. Online sessions using this approach prioritize the client's agenda and plan small, doable steps to address household and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. In an online setting CBT can include tracking moods, testing new behaviors between sessions, and reviewing outcomes together. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process traumatic memories; when it is used, the therapist guides the person through structured processing to lessen the emotional hold of painful events.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and feedback.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they manage parenting, work, and home routines.
