About Romia

Romia "Mia" Evans Baggs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has supported people facing a broad range of concerns, from depression and anxiety to relationship and parenting challenges, as well as trauma and abuse including emotional, physical, sexual, and combat-related experiences. Her background includes work with issues such as self-esteem, addiction, grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Mia practices with a warm, interactive style that centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She blends evidence-based methods like cognitive-behavioral work with humanistic and collaborative language approaches, and she lists Internal Family Systems among the approaches she uses.

Sessions are adapted to each person's needs so treatment plans and conversations are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. She emphasizes partnership in the therapeutic process and supports clients as they take the often-difficult first steps toward greater wellbeing.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people notice and relate to the different parts of themselves with curiosity and care, supporting work around internal conflict, shame, and healing after trauma. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist provides support and reflection to foster insight and self-directed change.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client's goals, preferences, and experience, and together they will adapt methods and pacing to suit the person's needs rather than imposing a single technique.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care across locations within the same region, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual.
