Rosemary Holderman , LCSW

Rosemary Holderman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with a long history of clinical work that spans more than 40 years. She has also held past practice in Ohio and brings experience from a wide range of care settings, including juvenile corrections in a group home environment, public mental health programs, in-home family counseling, and work with the Department of Children and Families in Florida.

Her work has included individual counseling, group therapy, and family sessions for adolescents, teens, and adults. Over her career she has treated a broad spectrum of concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, domestic violence and victim support, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family problems, and transitional life challenges. She also addresses specialized areas like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and first responder issues.

Holderman describes a client-centered approach in which the person seeking help leads the process and the therapist serves as a supportive guide. She emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration as clients explore life experiences, relationships, and goals. With patience and practical guidance, she helps individuals and families work toward their potential and navigate challenges along the way.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Rosemary Holderman integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to meet each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed actions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the center of the process, emphasizing active listening, empathy, and collaboration so that individuals and families lead their own growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and shifts unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, often helping with anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Holderman works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client's goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts techniques from these approaches as needed and supports clients as they try new strategies and track progress.

Online therapy with Holderman is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow continuity of care across life changes, make it easier to coordinate family or caregiver involvement when appropriate, and expand access to licensed professionals without requiring travel.
