About Roxana
Roxana Chavez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with three years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, disability, post-traumatic stress, sexuality concerns, and women's issues. Roxana provides direct client care rooted in community mental health experience.
She describes herself as an introduction to mindfulness teacher and brings that skill into sessions in practical ways. In conversation she helps people notice patterns of thought and bodily response that keep anger and anxiety active. Sessions are focused on clear strategies and on building small skills that carry over into everyday life.
Roxana’s background includes community mental health work where she delivered ongoing therapy and case coordination. That work shaped her approach to practical problem solving and to pacing work with complex trauma or serious mental health concerns. She tends to use short exercises alongside talk therapy to help people manage intense feelings.
People who struggle with recurring resentment, sudden outbursts, or ongoing tension in relationships will find a practical, skill-focused style. Roxana emphasizes learning simple grounding and breathing tools and practicing them in session. The goal is to reduce reactivity and increase options in the moment.
When starting, she asks about recent stressors, patterns of anger, and what has or hasn't helped before. The early sessions prioritize clear, doable steps and planning for coping between meetings.
Approaches used and how online sessions help
Roxana draws on mindfulness-based techniques and trauma-informed practices in straightforward ways. Mindfulness exercises teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce the surge of anger or panic in the moment. Trauma-informed methods focus on pacing, safety in the work, and identifying triggers so people can build responses that feel manageable.Choosing the right combination of techniques is a collaborative process. Roxana works with clients to identify goals, tries short exercises in session, and adjusts the plan based on what helps. That makes it easier to find approaches that fit a person's day-to-day life and comfort level.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the environments where they actually use them, such as during a work break or at home. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so they work well over a screen or by phone depending on practical needs.
