Roger Midgett, LICSW

Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with more than three decades of experience. He offers practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, bipolar concerns, and other life challenges. Roger speaks English and practices from Washington as a WA LICSW.

He aims to create a clear plan with each person, focusing on what feels most useful right now. Sessions often include straightforward exercises and homework to build new habits. The tone is person-centered and collaborative.

Roger draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help notice thoughts and shift unhelpful patterns. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build actions that matter. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and emotional connection.

Across the work he leans on client-centered listening, and tools adapted from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation skills are needed. He is comfortable addressing issues such as intimacy concerns, body image, sleep problems, parenting strain, and caregiver stress.

Long experience in community mental health informs his approach to complicated or overlapping problems. He pays attention to practical goals like improving sleep, reducing panic, managing mood swings, and coping with life changes. Sessions aim to give clear steps someone can try between meetings.

Therapy approaches and online options that fit your life

Roger commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in work with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify personal values and build meaningful actions even when difficult feelings remain. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of his practice and can help people notice how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. Together they choose tools that match the client’s needs, preferences, and pace rather than committing to one single path upfront.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations for deeper dialogue, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
