About Rosemary

Rosemary Holderman helps people who are worn down by stress, anxiety, parenting strain, relationship friction, grief, or big life changes. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people find practical ways forward. Rosemary is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - with four decades of practice.

She has worked in many settings, including juvenile corrections, group homes, public mental health, in-home family work, and with the Florida Department of Children and Families.

Background and approach

That range gave her experience with adolescents, adults, individual counseling, group work, and family-focused sessions. She has supported people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, depression, anger, and adjustment after loss. Her usual style is straightforward and client-centered.

The person in the room sets the pace and priorities while she listens and guides. Rosemary focuses on small, doable steps rather than long theoretical talks. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness practices, acceptance and commitment ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and values-based choices.

Sessions often include problem-solving, communication skills, and coping tools tailored to daily life. People who prefer calm, steady support and practical strategies tend to work well with her. She aims to help clients clarify goals, reduce distress that gets in the way, and build routines that support lasting change.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with anxiety, mood problems, and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosemary will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative, with adjustments over time based on what is helping and what is not.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility in how and when people engage in therapy, while keeping the focus on building skills and making steady progress.
