About Roger

Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and related concerns. He focuses on practical steps that fit into daily life and listens for what matters most to each person. Roger aims to create a calm setting where someone can name their problems and try small, useful changes.

He uses a person-centered, solution-focused style and draws on several therapy approaches to tailor work to individual needs. Conversation often centers on coping skills, behavior changes, and understanding how patterns began. Roger also pays attention to relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and issues connected to identity and sexual orientation.

Clients with chronic pain, caregiver stress, or serious medical issues can expect a collaborative discussion about pacing, realistic goals, and strategies to reduce overwhelm. He also supports people facing career challenges, eating and sleep difficulties, and the practical fallout from trauma or major life transitions. Roger pays particular attention to creative blocks and helps people explore ways to express imagination without added pressure.

With experience in both community mental health and private practice settings, he blends down-to-earth guidance with clinical perspectives developed over many years. He welcomes clear, goal-oriented work and will help clients try skills, reflect on results, and adjust plans as needed.

Roger practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling details through the Start Therapy process.

How Roger's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and building small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Roger collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He will check in about what helps, try different strategies when needed, and adjust the plan based on results.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins, or reduce the need to commute. A flexible online schedule can make it simpler to build regular practice of skills between meetings and to turn therapy into manageable steps that fit everyday life.
