Roxann Francis

Roxann Francis is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of practice experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, mood shifts, and changes that come with life transitions. She also supports concerns related to relationships, career pressures, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach centers on respectful, sensitive conversation. She adapts sessions to each person and works with clients to shape goals that feel meaningful. Sessions involve straightforward talk, practical skills, and steps clients can try between meetings.

Roxann draws on several methods to guide the work. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s priorities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing also appear when they fit the client’s needs.

She describes the first step as a small, brave decision and aims to make the next steps clear. Roxann creates a plan that matches each person’s situation and tolerance for change. Her style is intentional and down-to-earth, focused on what helps in daily life.

For people worried about starting therapy, Roxann frames the work as a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps pick practical tools to manage symptoms and strengthen coping over time.
