About Roian

Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with licensure in Texas and Missouri and six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, grief, and coping with life changes. Roian also lists focus areas like abandonment and attachment issues, chronic illness and pain, body image, and codependency.

She uses practical talk and evidence-informed approaches to help people recognize patterns that come from their family of origin. Sessions focus on identifying recurring roles and expectations learned in childhood and how those habits affect work, relationships, and parenting now. Roian combines several methods rather than using a single fixed model so the work fits the problem at hand.

Her background includes years in behavioral health and substance use settings and earlier work in human services supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities. That mix of agency experience and private practice informs how she supports people managing complex, overlapping challenges. She also has experience with medicated-assisted treatment in addiction settings.

In sessions she helps clients set clear goals and practice concrete skills. That can look like learning new ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, trying different communication approaches, or building small habits to reduce stress and improve sleep. Roian invites clients to name their priorities and then tracks progress over time.

She offers a straightforward, goal-focused style with attention to attachment patterns and coping strategies. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems that come from rigid rules learned in childhood.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shaped expectations about closeness and safety. In online sessions this work focuses on identifying attachment patterns and practicing new ways of relating that reduce repetitive problems in adult relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roian will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is tracked.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists often use video or phone when those formats are supported, but please verify the exact options with the provider before scheduling.
