About Rosemary
Rosemary Maltese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered care that helps parents and individuals find clearer ways forward when life feels overwhelming. She blends a client-centered stance with solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral ideas.
Sessions aim to identify immediate goals, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build small, usable skills parents can try between meetings. The work is straightforward and goal-oriented while staying respectful of each person’s pace.
Background and approach
Her background includes helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Parenting concerns, relationship struggles, and career stress are commonly addressed. She also supports people coping with anger, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
Rosemary also attends to issues tied to family history - attachment wounds, abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, and family of origin patterns. She uses a systems lens when family dynamics are part of the concern, focusing on how relationships shape current behavior and feelings. Therapeutic tools include mindfulness practices, elements of dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR where appropriate.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life work
Client-centered therapy starts with the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps parents and individuals make their own choices about change. This approach is useful when someone needs validation and a clear place to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses, which can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve parenting responses in stressful moments.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, contributes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be especially helpful for managing intense reactions, relationship conflict, and chronic stress.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what’s working. Clients play an active role in choosing strategies and testing them between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules. Video sessions allow more visual connection for skill coaching, phone sessions use less bandwidth and fit quick check-ins, and chat or messaging can support brief updates or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines and changing days.
