About Roxane

Roxane Pakit is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four decades of clinical experience based in New Jersey.

Background and approach

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and related issues such as abandonment, attachment, blended family adjustments, codependency, and communication problems. Her practice also addresses areas like forgiveness, infidelity, career stress, caregiver strain, and coping with life changes.

Roxane blends several well-established therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. She integrates Internal Family Systems ideas with client-centered listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies, along with emotionally-focused techniques aimed at improving connection and emotional regulation.

Across sessions she emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and strengthening self-awareness so clients can make meaningful changes. Licensed since the early 1980s, Roxane brings experience working with people from varied socioeconomic, cultural, and religious backgrounds.

She offers sessions in English and provides a range of online formats to accommodate different preferences and schedules.

How therapeutic approaches come alive online

Roxane uses Internal Family Systems to help clients understand inner parts and the roles they play, guiding exploration of relationships between those parts to reduce internal conflict and increase self-leadership. Client-Centered Therapy forms the backbone of her work through empathic listening and validating the client's experience, creating a collaborative environment for setting goals and exploring change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides practical tools for identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Roxane works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and blends methods so the treatment plan fits the individual. The therapeutic path can evolve as work progresses, with techniques adapted to what proves most helpful for the client.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make consistent care more accessible for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats support flexible scheduling, allow ongoing check-ins between live sessions, and enable clients to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them.
