Rosemary Holderman, LCSW

Rosemary Holderman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, and relationship concerns. She speaks plain, direct language and focuses on what matters most to each person. Many clients come to her worried about mood shifts, trauma, or life transitions and want straightforward support.

She has practiced for 40 years in a range of settings. Her background includes work in juvenile corrections, group homes, public mental health, in-home family services, and with the Department of Children and Families in Florida. That experience means she is familiar with both short-term crises and longer-term challenges.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She follows client-centered methods so the client sets goals and she guides the process with empathy and practical feedback. Rosemary also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors.

Sessions may include individual talk, skill-building, and practical problem solving. She draws on dialectical behavior ideas to help with emotional regulation and on acceptance and commitment ideas when people want to clarify values and take steps toward them. The focus is on small, doable changes that fit daily life.

Rosemary works in Florida and offers sessions in English. She aims to create an honest, respectful working relationship and to help people move toward the goals they name for themselves.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Rosemary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that change how they feel. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day coping. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. That approach can help with life transitions, grief, and chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Rosemary works collaboratively to match techniques to each person’s goals and preferences. She listens to what is most pressing, suggests practical options, and adjusts the plan as progress is made or goals change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people meet face to face when schedules allow. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter interaction fits into a busy day. These choices make it easier to keep consistent work toward goals while staying flexible with daily life.
