About Roger
Roger Pawlak is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people regain rest, balance, and connection. He frames work around practical steps, clear goals, and respectful listening so clients can tackle sleep troubles, anxiety, relationship strain, or grief without feeling judged.
He brings 13 years of clinical experience to the room and blends clinical knowledge with life experience. Sessions aim to identify patterns that disturb sleep or relationships, and then try manageable changes that fit daily life. Roger emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People come for help with trauma, PTSD, and the aftereffects of service, as well as for struggles with depression, anger, addiction, or parenting stress. He also addresses issues like intimacy, blended family dynamics, and work-related strain. Sleeping problems are part of the concerns he treats alongside mood and relational issues.
His work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-informed stance that centers safety, respect, and client choice. He helps clients reconnect with what matters to them and build skills to manage symptoms and setbacks. Conversations are practical and goal-focused, with room for personal values and spiritual concerns when relevant.
Roger aims to create a steady, collaborative process. He helps people set realistic steps, track what’s working, and adjust the plan over time. The focus is on restoring daily functioning, improving sleep patterns, and strengthening relationships one step at a time.
Evidence-based approaches and how online sessions can help
Roger uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and restore daily functioning. Cognitive Processing Therapy is a structured approach that helps people notice and change patterns of thinking that keep them stuck after trauma; it is often used for PTSD and related anxiety. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify goals and find personal reasons to change behaviors such as addictive patterns or health habits, using guided conversation rather than direct advice.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose or adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking progress and changing course when something does not fit.
Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel and allowing flexible scheduling. It can allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that match a break at work or a quieter time at home. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking to understand how online or in-person options may be scheduled.
