About Melanie
Melanie Roserie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland with 20 years of practice supporting people through major life changes and hard emotions. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and family-related concerns. She also focuses on blended family issues, communication problems, grief from divorce and separation, and life purpose questions.
Melanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make sense of what they are facing. Sessions often involve talking through recent events, identifying patterns that keep problems repeating, and practicing new ways of responding. She pays attention to how family history and current relationships influence mood and behavior.
She has experience working with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress. Melanie also supports people who are navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and the stressors faced by military personnel, veterans, and first responders. Her work includes addressing guilt, shame, and co-occurring mood conditions.
In practical terms she helps people clarify priorities, manage symptoms day-to-day, and consider next steps when a career, relationship, or health change leaves them unsure what comes next. Conversations often include straightforward coping skills and communication practice for use outside sessions.
Melanie frames treatment around the person’s goals and life context. She draws on two decades of clinical experience to adapt approaches to what is most useful for each person. To begin, she asks clients to describe their current situation and what they want to change.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Melanie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address core problems. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying thoughts and beliefs that fuel anxiety or depression, and on practicing alternative ways of thinking and behaving that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Trauma-informed techniques attend to how traumatic events affect the body and relationships, using gradual processing and stabilization strategies to reduce distress.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to map current goals, previous treatment experiences, and practical needs. Together they adjust methods over time if something feels unhelpful or a different focus is needed.

In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments and can reduce travel time. Phone or video choices can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let people participate without needing to commute, helping therapy fit into ordinary life.
