About Rosemary

Rosemary Holderman brings four decades of clinical social work experience to people seeking help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, parenting challenges, and related concerns.

Background and approach

A Florida-licensed LCSW, she has worked across settings including juvenile corrections, group homes, in-home family services, public mental health, and with the Department of Children and Families. Her background includes individual, group, and family counseling with adolescents and adults, and a long history supporting clients facing grief, domestic violence, anger, and life transitions.

Her stance is rooted in a client-centered philosophy that treats each person as the authority on their own life while offering guidance and empathy. She emphasizes open, honest collaboration and supports clients as they pursue personal goals and navigate change.

Drawing on a range of therapeutic tools, Rosemary aims to help clients build skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward healthier patterns in relationships and daily living. In practice she blends practical interventions with respectful listening, offering a steady guide through both challenges and successes.

Her work reflects an emphasis on partnership, an understanding of complex family dynamics, and a focus on helping people tap their capacity for growth.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care

Rosemary uses Internal Family Systems to help people explore inner parts and understand how different feelings or self-protective patterns influence behavior; this approach can be useful for unpacking internal conflicts, trauma reactions, and complex emotional responses. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to purposeful change. Client-centered therapy is central to her work, offering empathetic listening and collaboration so the client leads the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. This allows flexibility in combining strategies and adapting over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and the ability to engage from different locations. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistent care, respond to life transitions, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy routine while working with licensed professionals committed to supportive, accessible treatment.
