About Roxanna

Roxanna Tipton is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. She brings 13 years of experience and a straightforward, compassionate style aimed at making change feel achievable.

Background and approach

Roxanna works in a practical, collaborative way. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals and small steps they can take between sessions.

Conversations in her sessions focus on real-life patterns and everyday choices rather than abstract theory. Her background as an Oklahoma resident shapes how she understands community and family pressures.

That perspective informs her work with issues like blended family adjustments, commitment worries, communication problems, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She also helps people process grief, guilt, shame, and the fallout from infidelity or domestic violence.

Roxanna uses several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. These include the Gottman Method for relationship skills, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trauma-focused methods for recovery after abuse.

She adapts methods to fit what a person finds helpful rather than using a single fixed plan. Her sessions aim to help people rebuild trust, set healthier boundaries, and find clearer ways to communicate.

Roxanna welcomes honest conversation and focuses on attainable steps that lead to real improvements in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Roxanna commonly uses the Gottman Method to teach practical relationship skills like communication habits and conflict repair. The Gottman Method focuses on specific exercises and interactions that help people change how they relate to each other. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Roxanna talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and life situation, and then tailors methods to fit. That collaborative planning helps identify whether relationship-focused work, cognitive strategies, or trauma-focused steps will be most useful first.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill-building work that benefits from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and messaging let people share updates between sessions and keep momentum on practical tasks and homework. These options allow therapy to fit around work, family, and travel while keeping continuity of care.
