About Melanie
Melanie Roserie is a licensed clinical social worker with a Maryland LCSW-C and LCSW credentials in Virginia and North Carolina, and she has 20 years of practice experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and family-related concerns. Her biography notes specific focus on blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and guilt and shame.
She often helps clients who are dealing with trauma from domestic violence, sexual assault, or post-traumatic stress. She also supports people connected to military or first responder work who are managing the stresses that come with those roles. Melanie has experience addressing fertility and fatherhood issues as they affect personal and family life.
Her way of working emphasizes understanding the complexity of someone’s life. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to manage symptoms and improve difficult relationships. She pays attention to how past family of origin issues and current family dynamics influence how someone feels about themselves.
Melanie’s practice includes helping people face guilt and shame without judgment. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders and co-morbid conditions. She also supports individuals processing life purpose questions and transitions like pregnancy and childbirth.
She practices in Maryland and provides services in English. For people who want to start, the process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many of Melanie’s clients benefit from approaches that use clear, evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and build coping skills. One approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing impact, which can help people with post-traumatic stress and trauma from abuse. Another approach emphasizes behavioral and mood-related strategies to manage depression and anxiety through measurable skills and paced activity changes.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, discuss what methods fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed rather than applying a single method from the start.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online delivery can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, sessions that avoid travel time, or options that avoid being on camera when someone prefers less visual contact. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based techniques to remote sessions so people can work on trauma, mood, and family concerns without rearranging their whole day.
