About Rosemary
Rosemary Holderman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 40 years of experience helping people handle strong emotions and life changes. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and ADHD. Rosemary uses plain, direct talk so people can understand each step in therapy.
She draws on a client-centered approach that asks the person to lead while she offers guidance.
How Rosemary works
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps to cope better between meetings. That can mean skills for managing anger, tools for handling anxiety, or plans for navigating family or parenting challenges. Rosemary has practiced across settings including juvenile corrections, group homes, in-home family counseling, public mental health programs, and work with child welfare systems.
Those roles involved individual sessions, group work, and family-focused meetings. This range has shaped a flexible, down-to-earth style she brings to every person she sees. She also works with concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, domestic violence impacts, and first responder stress.
Rosemary aims to build a respectful working relationship so clients feel heard and understood as they tackle painful memories or current pressures. Her goal is to help people find practical, realistic ways to reach the goals they name. Rosemary listens, offers empathy, and helps plan manageable steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors to reduce distress, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy places the person in charge of what to address while the therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental support, helpful when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosemary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on their goals and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so the plan stays practical and relevant to the individual’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple formats. Video calls let conversations feel closer to an in-person visit. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing written reflection, and easier scheduling for busy days. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting it around daily life.
