About Rosemary

Rosemary Holderman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with four decades of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a long career working in varied settings - from juvenile corrections and group homes to public mental health, in-home family counseling, and services with the Department of Children and Families - to support people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and family or parenting challenges.

Her background includes work with adolescents, adults, individuals, groups, and families. Her therapeutic stance is client-centered; she sees clients as the leaders of their own change and positions herself as a guide who listens with empathy and respect.

Rosemary combines practical, evidence-informed strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and motivational approaches to help people build coping skills, address relationship and intimacy concerns, and navigate life transitions. She also brings experience addressing issues like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, codependency, domestic violence, and ADHD.

Rosemary emphasizes an open, honest collaborative relationship aimed at identifying strengths and working toward goals. Her practice supports clients through both challenges and milestones as they pursue improved well-being and greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rosemary integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online practice to address patterns of thinking and to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes mindful acceptance and committed steps toward personal goals. She also uses client-centered principles to create a respectful, empathetic environment where clients set the pace and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rosemary works with each person to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time so treatment feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with her includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, attend sessions from home or work, and access support during life transitions while working together on practical skills and personal goals.
