About Roxana

Roxana Phillips is a licensed mental health counselor in North Carolina who draws on nearly three decades of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She centers her work on the belief that each person understands their own story and brings strengths that can be mobilized for change. Her approach blends talk therapy and practical coaching to address intimacy-related concerns, professional and executive challenges, and compassion fatigue among other stressors.

Roxana uses tools from Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, narrative work, and client-centered therapy to tailor sessions to the needs and goals of the individual. She also brings experience supporting issues related to aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, coping after natural or human-caused disasters, and life purpose questions.

Roxana encourages clients to notice small shifts in self-understanding and behavior, and she guides collaborative steps forward while acknowledging the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Roxana draws on Internal Family Systems and Client-Centered Therapy as central ways of working online. Internal Family Systems helps clients notice and relate to different internal parts with curiosity rather than judgment, which can be useful for navigating anxiety, intimacy questions, and self-criticism. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive stance that centers the client’s own experience and supports self-led insight and growth.

She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with practical behavior changes, which can complement deeper internal work when addressing stress and life transitions. Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative: the therapist and client explore needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust techniques over time to find the best fit.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work and personal commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support regardless of physical distance.
