Roseann Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a mental health professional trained to provide therapy and support, with 16 years of experience working with individuals and couples in Virginia. Her recent work has focused on helping people facing addiction and related behavioral health concerns, and she brings a strong understanding of how substance use can overlap with the effects of trauma.

Roseann has specific training and experience in working with trauma histories, including helping clients identify resources and approaches that can reduce the intensity of trauma-related emotions. Earlier in her career, she worked in a college student counseling center and understands the challenges many young adults face as they navigate relationships, family dynamics, and the transition into adulthood. This broad background supports her work with a wide range of concerns clients may bring to therapy.

Her style is friendly and warm, with a lighthearted approach that aims to help clients feel more at ease. Roseann incorporates motivational and strengths-based strategies, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. When helpful, she collaborates with clients to set goals to work on between sessions, based on steps identified together during therapy to support forward progress.
