About Roger

Roger Pawlak is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 13 years of experience. He focuses on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, anxiety, and related concerns. He works with individuals and people who have served in the armed forces, offering practical ways to manage strong feelings and repair connections.

Roger describes a straightforward, trauma-informed approach that emphasizes respect and clear steps. He uses clinical methods aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Sessions include talking through what happened, identifying patterns that keep problems alive, and learning new ways to respond when emotions run high.

His background includes many years supporting people coping with PTSD, addiction, infidelity, and complicated grief. He also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, first responder stress, and traumatic brain injury. That mix of issues informs how he frames goals and strategies in sessions.

In practice he blends evidence-based techniques with practical coaching. That can mean working on thoughts that fuel anger, practicing emotion regulation skills, and rebuilding trust in relationships. He aims to help clients reconnect with their values and strengthen daily routines that support stability.

Sessions are candid and goal-focused. Roger encourages clear plans between meetings so progress can be tracked. Prospective clients who want to explore anger, trauma, or relationship repair will find an approach centered on steady steps and measurable skills.

How evidence-based methods translate to remote sessions

Roger uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and processing trauma. Cognitive processing approaches target the thoughts and beliefs that keep anger and anxiety active, helping clients reframe patterns that lead to outbursts or withdrawal. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is listed in his background as a method to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge, which can lessen reactive anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, tracking how they land, and adjusting plans together until the approach feels practical and relevant.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some methods translate well to remote sessions because they focus on talking, cognitive exercises, and behavioral homework that can be practiced between meetings.
