Roxana Chavez, LICSW

Roxana Chavez is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, trauma, and depression. She also supports people managing chronic pain, long-term illness, and disability, and addresses concerns around post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and women’s issues. Roxana aims to create a calm, grounded space where people can speak openly about hard experiences and feel heard.

She brings three years of clinical experience that includes community mental health and direct client care. Roxana uses a person-centered approach that focuses on each person's needs and life context. Sessions often include practical tools alongside opportunities to process loss, difficult memories, and ongoing health challenges.

Roxana is an introduction to mindfulness teacher and often offers simple mindfulness practices to help with stress, chronic pain flare-ups, and emotion regulation. She emphasizes skill-building that clients can use between sessions, such as breathing techniques and short grounding exercises.

In the first meetings she tends to listen closely, map immediate concerns, and work with clients to set clear, manageable goals. Progress is discussed in straightforward terms, and plans are adjusted as life or health needs change.

Roxana practices in Massachusetts and conducts sessions in English. People interested in working on health-related challenges, trauma, or mood concerns are encouraged to read the profile and confirm session options before booking.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online care

Roxana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside mindfulness practices to help people manage trauma, mood, and health-related stress. One approach she often uses is trauma-focused work that helps people process distressing memories and reduce ongoing symptoms. This approach aims to help with intrusive memories and emotional reactivity that can follow traumatic events.

She also incorporates mindfulness-based strategies as an introduction to breath work and simple grounding practices. These techniques are practical for reducing anxiety, calming the nervous system during pain flares, and improving moment-to-moment coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Roxana begins by listening to immediate concerns, then works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and lifestyle. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as symptoms or daily demands change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when energy or attention is limited. It can also let people practice mindfulness and grounding skills in the places they live and rest. Ask about current session options to make sure they fit your routine.
