About Roseann
Roseann Zelaya is an LCSW licensed in New Jersey with over five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Roseann also addresses issues like caregiver stress, aging concerns, communication problems, isolation, forgiveness, self-love, and guilt and shame.
Roseann uses straightforward conversation to help people name their feelings and figure out next steps. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build practical momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments that change how someone feels. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.
Sessions aim to be practical and focused. Roseann helps people break big problems into smaller, manageable actions. She may work on building coping skills, changing thought patterns, or rehearsing better ways to communicate.
Her experience includes helping people manage addictions and the stress that comes with caregiving and aging. She brings five years of direct clinical work to these concerns and combines conversational support with structured techniques.
People can expect clear, simple steps to practice between sessions. Roseann encourages steady progress rather than sudden fixes. For those carrying guilt or shame, she approaches the topic directly and without judgement, helping clients explore what those feelings mean and what comes next.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and guides the therapist to shape sessions around the client’s priorities, which can make online sessions feel focused and practical. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often use concrete exercises and homework that the client practices between meetings to shift unhelpful thinking.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what the client finds helpful.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity between sessions during life changes. Practical items such as using DBT skills coaching or CBT worksheets translate well to remote meetings when both people can share materials and plan small practices between appointments.
