About Roger
Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with decades of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood swings, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. He writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Roger meets people where they are and works to find approaches that fit each person’s needs.
He draws from Existential ideas that look at meaning, choice, and responsibility alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral techniques.
Background and approach
That mix lets him address difficult feelings and the stories people tell themselves, while also building concrete coping skills. He pays attention to attachment patterns and how early bonds shape current relationships. Roger emphasizes a person-centered style.
Sessions often begin with what’s most pressing and then move to small experiments or changes to try between meetings. He is comfortable talking about topics such as creativity, intimacy, self-esteem, and the practical barriers that limit expression. Over 33 years he has worked across community mental health settings and independent practice in Washington.
His background includes helping people with complex, overlapping issues like chronic illness, caregiving stress, trauma histories, and identity concerns. In sessions he aims to be straightforward and collaborative. He helps people notice patterns, pick simple actions to test, and adjust plans as needed.
That steady, exploratory pace supports gradual change and clearer choices.

Approach and online options for therapy
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, responsibility, and choice to help people clarify what matters to them and how they want to live. It can be useful for people facing life transitions, low mood, or struggles with purpose.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and chronic stress by shifting focus toward meaningful action.
Attachment-Based work examines patterns of relating and emotional bonds from early life to present relationships. This approach helps people understand recurring relationship problems and develop new ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Roger will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their goals and preferences. He typically blends methods rather than sticking to a single model and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports shorter updates or coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
