About Roxann
Roxann Ellis-Denby is a Connecticut LCSW with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, anger, and depression. She also addresses issues like body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Roxann focuses on creating a space where people can speak plainly about what’s on their minds. She encourages honest talk about thoughts and feelings so problems can be understood and addressed. Sessions are aimed at helping people recognize patterns that keep them stuck and identify practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes long clinical experience helping people manage panic, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and issues related to impulse control and isolation. She supports people working through workplace stress and women’s issues as they affect daily life. The work often combines looking at present concerns with learning coping skills that reduce immediate distress.
Roxann’s approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients set achievable goals. Conversations in sessions tend to focus on what feels most pressing and what can change next.
If you are carrying guilt or shame about something you did or didn’t do, or about who you are, she can help you talk through those feelings. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Roxann draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can try. One common approach she uses helps people learn specific coping skills to reduce anxiety and panic attacks; this involves practicing breathing, grounding, and brief behavioral strategies that target immediate symptoms.Another approach focuses on processing reactions after trauma and abuse by helping people identify triggers and practice skills for lowering emotional arousal. This method tends to pair discussion with concrete exercises to manage distress in day-to-day moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roxann will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their current needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about how a technique is working and adjusts plans together rather than insisting on one way of working.
