Melanie RoserieLCSW-C, LCSW

Melanie Roserie is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She brings two decades of clinical experience and a calm, direct style to sessions. Melanie is based in Maryland and offers therapy in English.

Her work focuses on practical steps people can take right away. She talks through family dynamics, communication problems, and the strain that follows divorce or separation. She also helps people deal with blended family challenges, fatherhood concerns, and fertility-related stress.

Trauma recovery is a central part of her practice. She has experience supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to help clients reduce shame, build safety in everyday life, and regain confidence after difficult events.

Melanie often works with people connected to military life and first responder roles, helping them manage role-related stress and mood concerns. She also supports those facing co-occurring conditions and complex mood disorders, using clear strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Across sessions she emphasizes identity, purpose, and self-compassion. The therapist encourages small, steady changes and helps clients set realistic goals. People who want a practical, thoughtful collaborator may find her approach welcoming.

Evidence-based approaches and how they fit online

Melanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and recovery. One common approach emphasizes grounding and stabilization for trauma recovery, teaching simple tools to manage flashbacks, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions so daily life becomes more manageable.

Another approach centers on mood and behavior change, helping people identify unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and build routines that support better mood and energy. This can help with depression, anxiety, and low motivation.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match specific techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust the plan, and track progress over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering flexibility around work and parenting schedules. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to meet your day-to-day needs and goals.
