About Roian
Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She brings six years of clinical experience and a background in behavioral health and substance use work to her practice. She uses straightforward, practical therapy methods that match each person's needs.
Sessions focus on clear goals like managing stress, reducing anxiety, addressing addiction concerns, coping with trauma, and improving sleep and eating patterns. Roian also supports people dealing with grief, career questions, changes in life, and compassion fatigue.
How Roian works
Her earlier work in human services gave her direct experience supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities. That time shaped how she listens and responds now. She has also worked in settings that involved medication-assisted treatment for substance use challenges.
Roian combines elements from several approaches including acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused methods, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior methods. She and the client decide together which tools make the most sense for a particular problem. Sessions are collaborative and nonjudgmental.
Roian helps clients name goals, try manageable steps, and build routines that fit daily life. Her office hours include evenings and Saturdays to help with scheduling needs. She offers appointments by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Language of therapy is English and international clients are not accepted at this time.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating and emotional responding. It can help with abandonment and attachment concerns as well as intimacy-related issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to shift them, which is helpful for mood, anxiety, sleep, and eating concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's situation. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide practical options. Video works well when visual cues help the work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into busy days.
