About Roian
Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She draws on six years of clinical work to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, ADHD, and related concerns. She aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward for people who are worried or unsure what to expect.
Her style blends practical tools with steady support. Roian uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen emotional understanding and safety in sessions. Before independent practice, Roian worked in behavioral health and substance use agencies. She has experience with medicated-assisted treatment and with people who have complex mental health concerns and personality difficulties.
Earlier in her career she spent a decade in human services supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and collaborative planning. Roian helps people name priorities, try small changes, and track what works.
She also addresses practical concerns like sleep, eating, career stress, and caregiver burnout. Roian invites clients to set the pace. She offers flexible hours and a direct, nonjudgmental approach.
The work is presented as a partnership aimed at steady progress and clearer daily functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and can help with anxiety, ADHD-related struggles, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that feed depression, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and daily routines, then suggest which methods to try first. Together they set goals, test small changes, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework, coaching-style prompts, and keeping momentum between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
