Rosemary Holderman, LCSW

Rosemary Holderman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 40 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting struggles, grief, trauma, or issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She speaks English and practices in Florida as an LCSW.

Rosemary has worked in many settings over the years. She has provided individual and group counseling in juvenile corrections, group homes, public mental health systems, and in-home family work. She has also worked with the Department of Children and Families in Florida and previously practiced in Ohio.

Her background includes support for adolescents, adults, and families facing domestic violence, trauma, grief, anger, and transitional life changes. She has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and first responder challenges. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and career or life-direction questions.

Rosemary’s style is client-centered. She expects the person seeking help to lead the process while she listens and guides. She emphasizes open, honest conversation about life experiences and relationships and works alongside clients as they set and reach practical goals.

In sessions she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and client-centered methods. Her focus is on clear, practical steps people can use day to day to manage emotions and move forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness Therapy offers exercises to slow down, notice the present moment, and reduce automatic reactions to stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the client’s concerns and goals and suggest methods that fit their needs and preferences. Decisions about approach are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in this biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing appointments during a lunch break. It can also let someone use shorter check-ins when needed or avoid being on camera if that helps reduce stress. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt their tools for remote conversations so the same practical skills and goal-setting used in person can be practiced in an online format.
