Roian Baalman, LPC

Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credentialed in Missouri and Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, parenting strains, and anger. Sessions are focused and practical, aiming to help people manage strong feelings and daily challenges.

Before private practice, she worked for a decade in human services supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities. She also spent time in behavioral health and substance use agencies, gaining hands-on experience with medication-assisted treatment and clinical settings. That background informs how she approaches complex cases now.

Her work combines several well-known approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based methods. Roian prioritizes clear goals and step-by-step strategies, and she involves clients in choosing techniques that fit their life and values. She frames the work as collaborative and practical rather than abstract.

In sessions she pays attention to patterns like avoidance, attachment concerns, and coping strategies people use under stress. She also addresses issues that commonly co-occur with anger such as burnout, caregiving strain, and trauma reactions. The focus is on learning skills to respond differently to triggers and to rebuild daily routines that reduce reactivity.

Roian invites straightforward conversations about what is working and what needs to change. She asks clients to name goals and then tracks progress with realistic steps. This helps people replace reactive behaviors with calmer ways of handling conflict and pressure.
