She has extensive experience supporting adolescents and their families as well as adults through issues such as anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma, grief and loss, domestic violence and victims of violence. Her practice has also addressed adolescent and teen concerns, family group work, life coaching and transitional lifestyles. Rosemary approaches care with the belief that people have the desire and capacity to reach their highest potential, and she emphasizes an open, honest therapeutic relationship as concerns, life experiences and relationships are explored.

Her orientation is client-centered - the client leads and she serves as a guide - offering empathy, careful listening and support through both challenges and successes as clients work toward their goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Rosemary Holderman blends proven therapeutic methods to support clients through life's challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect and collaboration so the client sets the pace and goals, which can be particularly helpful for self-esteem, relationship and family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to shift them - often applied to depression, anxiety and anger-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rosemary works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds and as priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with a licensed professional. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time conversation and relationship building, while live chat and text-based messaging offer convenient, timely support between sessions. These options make it easier to receive consistent care around work, family and other commitments, increasing accessibility for those seeking therapy.
