About Roian
Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who practices in Missouri. She brings six years of clinical experience and a focus on practical, day-to-day concerns like stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and coping with life changes. Her approach is straightforward and person-centered, aimed at helping people find tools that fit their lives.
She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to address emotional and behavioral patterns. Sessions often include working through thoughts and habits, building skills for coping, and naming goals that feel meaningful to the client. Roian emphasizes collaboration and clear steps rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes time in behavioral health and substance use agencies and prior work in human services supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities. That experience informs how she talks about practical day-to-day struggles and systems that affect recovery and care. She also has experience related to medication-assisted treatment.
Roian aims to make the therapy process approachable. She helps people sort through relationship and communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, sleep and eating challenges, and issues tied to trauma or chronic illness. She also addresses career stress, compassion fatigue, and questions around identity and intimacy.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Roian works with each client to set realistic goals and a plan that fits their routine and needs. Her hours include weekdays and Saturday appointments to accommodate different schedules.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and making meaningful life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections and helps people recognize and shift patterns in close relationships and intimacy.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match a person's needs and preferences. Together they will adjust techniques over time so sessions feel useful and manageable.
