Roger Midgett, LICSW

Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over three decades of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and other mood or thought concerns. He also supports those coping with life changes, caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He works in Washington and provides services in English.

Roger uses a person-centered, solution-focused style in sessions. He listens for what matters most to each person and then helps find practical steps that fit their life. Sessions often include skill building for managing difficult emotions and clearer ways to communicate with others.

He draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy inform many of his strategies. He also uses attachment-informed ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships.

Roger is interested in creativity and imagination as part of healing. He helps clients identify what blocks expression and then practices ways to move past those barriers. That can include small experiments, coping strategies, or mapping out steps to share work with others.

Across sessions he focuses on practical change. People leave with clearer steps to try between meetings. If you want a straightforward, experienced clinician who values workable tools and thoughtful conversation, he may be a good match.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and commit to small actions that match those values. It focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions; it can help people change how they relate to others and manage relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try a few strategies, and adjust based on what helps. Sessions can mix elements from different approaches so the plan fits your needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing appointments from different locations. It also makes shorter check-ins, daytime sessions, or sessions that avoid camera use more feasible depending on what you prefer. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skills practice, and values-based work to an online setting so that therapy stays focused on practical change.
