About Roger
Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over three decades of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, bipolar disorder, and other life challenges. Roger takes a direct and practical approach that aims to ease daily struggles and restore a sense of control.
He uses clear, down-to-earth methods rather than jargon. Sessions focus on small, doable steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Roger draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs and prefers rather than using one fixed method. Over 33 years Roger has worked in community mental health settings and completed clinical training that informs his practice. He blends talk therapy with skill-building work so conversations lead to concrete changes.
He is also interested in creativity and helping people move past what blocks their expression. Parents often come for help with sleep, behavior patterns, stress from caregiving, and rebuilding routines. Roger helps individuals sort through parenting challenges and develop practical strategies that fit their life and values.
He emphasizes collaboration and respect in sessions. Clients set goals and Roger offers tools from evidence-based approaches that match those goals. The aim is steady progress you can notice week by week.
Roger practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English. He provides a mix of formats so people can choose what works best for their schedule and communication style.

How Roger’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where motivation or direction feels lost. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is practical and task-oriented. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and aims to build healthier ways of relating to others and to oneself.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roger listens to what matters to the client, what has and hasn’t worked before, and what goals they want to reach. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so the work fits the person’s life and values.
Online sessions come in several formats: video calls for fuller conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or visual presence is an issue, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, manage caregiving demands, or have shorter focused touchpoints when that’s most helpful.
