Rosemary Holderman, LCSW

Rosemary Holderman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with four decades of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and concerns around parenting and family life. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aiming to help clients meet practical goals and feel more in control of daily life.

She has worked in many settings, including juvenile corrections, group homes, public mental health, in-home family counseling, and with the Florida Department of Children and Families. That range of work includes individual counseling, group work, and family-focused sessions. Over the years she has supported adolescents, adults, and people facing life transitions and crises.

Rosemary describes her approach as client-centered. She treats the person in front of her as the leader of the work and acts as a guide through hard moments and milestones. Sessions focus on clear, honest conversation and on building practical steps clients can use between visits.

Her background includes long experience helping people manage anger, trauma, domestic violence consequences, adoption and foster care issues, blended family adjustments, caregiving stress, and first responder concerns. She also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, self-esteem, and career stress.

Clients can expect a therapist who listens closely, offers empathy, and helps set achievable goals. Rosemary aims to help people identify strengths, cope with change, and move toward the life they want.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and major life changes by teaching practical actions tied to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and helps people test and change unhelpful habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, listening, and following the client's lead so goals come from the client's priorities rather than the therapist's agenda.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosemary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as the work progresses and goals change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, reducing travel time, allowing quicker check-ins during a workday, or making scheduling more flexible. Many people find that regular online sessions help maintain momentum and apply new skills between meetings.
