About Roslyn
Roslyn Smith is an MS, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience in Mississippi. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career challenges, ADHD, and other complex issues listed in her practice focus.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She uses clear talk and skill-building rather than academic language. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going, learning new responses, and practicing small changes that fit everyday life. Roslyn combines evidence-based approaches to match a person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions aligned with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that feed distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and managing strong reactions.
Roslyn also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work grounded in what matters to the person. She pays attention to cultural context and life circumstances when planning sessions. This means discussing practical goals, homework that makes sense for daily routines, and techniques people can use between meetings.
People who come for anger-related concerns often work on identifying triggers, practicing de-escalation strategies, and building new ways to communicate frustration. The focus is on usable tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes. If you want to move from reactive moments to more choice in how you respond, she can help explore realistic next steps.
How sessions work
How Roslyn Works with Therapy Models Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting swept away by them and focus on actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and issues where unwanted thoughts get in the way of living well.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful when frustration or anger escalates quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roslyn collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts the plan based on what helps most and on a client’s preferences.
