About Roian
Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends evidence-informed methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and related challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on six years of clinical experience and prior work in human services to shape individualized care that reflects each client's goals and life context. Roian emphasizes collaboration, meeting clients where they are and adjusting therapeutic tools to fit specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her background includes work in behavioral health and substance use settings and a decade supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities before becoming a therapist.
That mixture of clinical and human services experience informs her approach to concerns such as mood disorders, attachment and abandonment issues, identity and intimacy questions, caregiving stress, and difficulties with sleep, eating, or concentration. Roian aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward clearer goals.
She maintains flexible hours, including Saturdays, to accommodate varied schedules.
Practical approaches for online healing and growth
Roian commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, more adaptive behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. ACT supports helping people clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and commit to actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for coping, motivation, and long-term behavior change.Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, then adapt techniques from CBT, ACT, or other methods to fit the client's needs. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and manageable as it unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let clients access care around work, family, and health demands while maintaining continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured skills work, reflective conversations, and ongoing support tailored to each person's goals and pace.
