About Rosemary

Rosemary Maltese brings an 11-year clinical background to her work, blending cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered care to help people confront anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She practices as an LPC in Tennessee and focuses on practical, evidence-informed strategies while listening for each person's unique story and strengths. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and clear goals to support movement through issues like low self-esteem, career concerns, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges.

She also integrates elements of DBT skills, EMDR for trauma work, and mindfulness practices when appropriate, tailoring interventions to fit the needs of the individual or family. Rosemary describes her orientation as strengths-based and systemic when working with couples and family dynamics, paying attention to how family of origin and relationship patterns influence current difficulties.

Her style blends encouragement with concrete tools so clients can develop coping skills, improve communication, and pursue meaningful change at their own pace.

Online options using CBT, client-centered care, and DBT skills

Rosemary uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and career or relationship concerns. Client-centered therapy provides the foundation for empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while setting meaningful goals. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those tools fit the client's needs.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and will be determined collaboratively. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns together and adapt methods over time so the plan reflects what works best for the individual or family.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and varied routines. These formats make it possible to continue care across life changes while accessing evidence-informed interventions and ongoing support from a licensed professional in Tennessee.
