Roger Pawlak

Roger Pawlak is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing anger, trauma, relationship strain, and loss. He brings 13 years of experience to sessions and speaks directly and compassionately with each person he meets. Roger aims to make therapy a practical place for change rather than a place of jargon. Roger focuses on issues such as PTSD symptoms, anxiety, depression, addiction-related concerns, and problems with intimacy and trust. He also supports people navigating parenting stress, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care questions, and work-related strain. He brings attention to how life events and identity can shape emotions and behavior. In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on unhealthy patterns and on rebuilding connection. He emphasizes step-by-step plans, clear goals, and skills people can apply between sessions. The approach is trauma-informed and aims to restore a sense of control and stability after difficult experiences. Roger draws on both clinical experience and life experience to ground his work. He pays attention to values, resilience, and what matters most to each person. That practical focus helps people manage anger, improve relationships, and regain a sense of direction. He practices in Florida and offers services in English. Roger works with veterans and individuals dealing with first responder issues and the effects of traumatic brain injury alongside a broad range of mental health concerns.

How evidence-based techniques shape online care

Roger draws on well-established therapeutic methods to address trauma, anger, and relationship strain. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) helps people examine and reframe unhelpful beliefs that keep painful memories or shame active, which can ease strong emotional reactions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying personal goals and increasing readiness for change, useful for issues like addiction or entrenched habits that fuel anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roger will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.

The original biography does not spell out online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Many people find online or remote therapy useful because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and let sessions fit more readily into work and family routines. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to continue care across locations.
