About Roxane

Roxane Pakit is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with about 40 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship struggles, addiction, trauma, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Roxane uses a mix of approaches to help people tackle problems that feel stuck. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and clarify what matters most. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to look at thoughts and behaviors, and emotion-focused ideas to address close relationships and attachment concerns.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and decades of practice with people from varied economic, cultural, and religious backgrounds. Those years have shaped how she responds to common parenting and family stresses, blended family challenges, and adoption or foster-care related concerns.

In sessions she focuses on building clear goals together. She offers practical skills for stress and anger management, communication strategies, and ways to cope with life changes like separation, caregiving strain, or career shifts. She also addresses addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and grief with attention to how these affect daily life.

People who come to Roxane should expect straightforward conversation about patterns, options, and small steps forward. She supports adults who want to improve relationships at home, strengthen parenting skills, or manage emotions and behaviors that interfere with daily life.

How sessions work

How her approaches adapt to online work

Roxane often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and elements of emotionally-focused therapy. Client-centered work prioritizes the client's concerns and helps clarify goals through listening and reflection. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and offers clear exercises and skills to change them. Emotionally-focused ideas focus on how attachment and emotion show up in close relationships and help people address hurt, grief, and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Roxane will work with each person to decide which techniques fit the issue at hand and their personal preferences. That means goals, tools, and homework are chosen together rather than imposed.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can be scheduled around a break at work, and audio-only options can reduce bandwidth or camera needs. Ask about session length and format options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your routine best.
