Roger Pawlak, LMHC

Roger Pawlak is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, and related struggles. He presents as grounded and compassionate, and he aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space for people to talk through hard experiences. Roger frames work as practical and step-by-step, with attention to what matters most to each person.

He has 13 years of clinical experience supporting people with PTSD, depression, anger, addictions, and sleep problems. He also addresses parenting stress, career concerns, self-esteem, and the effects of traumatic brain injury. Roger works with individuals and couples who are rebuilding trust or coping with major life changes.

Roger draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques in sessions, using approaches that match each person's goals. He emphasizes trauma-informed care that centers safety, respect, and personal agency. Clients can expect clear discussion about goals and practical steps between sessions.

His additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, first responder and veteran concerns, multicultural stressors, infidelity, and prejudice-related distress. These topics are woven into treatment when they are relevant to a person's story.

Roger practices in Florida and offers services in English. He accepts international clients. To begin, a person can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online therapy

Roger uses evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Processing Therapy helps people rethink and reframe distressing memories so those memories cause less ongoing pain; it is often used for PTSD and trauma-related fears. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own goals and readiness for change, helping when motivation feels stuck or when someone is weighing life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and pace. That conversation is ongoing and can change as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also can help people keep continuity of care if they move or travel. Licensed professionals and therapists can explain which online arrangements will work best for a given situation when you schedule.
