About Roger
Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 33 years of experience. He helps people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, mood disorders, and many life changes. Roger speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
He draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior skills. Sessions aim to identify what matters to each person and build skills to move toward those goals.
How Roger works
Roger emphasizes clear strategies rather than jargon. Roger has worked in Washington for decades and brings experience across community mental health and outpatient settings. He has supported people facing depression, bipolar challenges, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around identity and self-esteem.
He also helps with caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image, and career stress. In practice he combines listening with concrete tools. That might mean tracking mood and behavior, experimenting with new routines, or learning emotion regulation and communication skills.
He also pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current difficulties. He is interested in creativity and expression and often helps people clear obstacles to sharing their ideas. To begin, he works collaboratively to choose approaches that fit each person’s situation and goals.
Sessions are offered in English and take place through several online formats to suit different needs.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take concrete steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and regulating emotions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients can explore concerns at their own pace and find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods, review progress, and adjust the plan as needed to find the best fit.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face connection when helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins, brief coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use the format that best suits each moment.
