About Roger

Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who focuses on practical, person-centered support for people facing mood, thought, and life-change challenges.

Background and approach

With 33 years of clinical experience in Washington, he helps clients explore strategies that match their goals and values, whether the concern is anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, or relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also brings attention to concerns like body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and sexual orientation related matters.

His therapeutic stance combines collaborative problem solving with several evidence-informed methods. Roger integrates Internal Family Systems ideas to help people notice and work with different parts of themselves, while using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques to develop practical skills and clearer values-based action.

He values creativity and imagination in the work, helping clients navigate the emotional barriers that interfere with personal expression and life changes. Roger invites clients to co-create an approach that fits their situation and supports gradual, achievable shifts in day-to-day living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Roger draws on Internal Family Systems to help clients recognize and relate to different internal parts, fostering self-leadership and internal cooperation for issues like trauma, anxiety, and persistent self-criticism. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and learning flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings so clients can take committed action toward a meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and to strengthen how people form and repair connections, which can be helpful for relationship, intimacy, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. Roger works with each person to identify goals, test strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful and sustainable for the client's needs and preferences.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for scheduling and for engaging in different kinds of therapeutic work. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and to use interactive exercises, reflective conversations, and brief check-ins in ways that fit a client's daily life.
