Roger Midgett, LICSW

Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with 33 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, mood disorders, and anger. He also supports people navigating relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep or eating problems, and changes in career or life circumstances.

Roger uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He starts by listening to what is most pressing, then helps people test simple strategies. He draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing strong emotions and unhelpful patterns.

Roger pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics that keep problems active. He helps clients notice how past losses or patterns of avoidance show up now. That focus can be useful for problems such as abandonment fears, codependency, intimacy issues, and communication difficulties.

He also works with people dealing with complex situations like chronic illness, caregiver stress, or co-occurring conditions. Sessions include practical planning for daily routines, sleep and eating concerns, and coping strategies to reduce reactivity and build steadier responses.

Creativity and self-expression are part of his work when they matter to the person. Roger helps clients move past barriers that limit their creative life, and he supports gradual steps toward sharing work and ideas with others.
