Roian Baalman

Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She draws on six years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and other life challenges. Roian aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters to them and set practical goals.

She uses a mix of proven therapy styles and tailors them to each person's needs. That can include approaches that focus on values and action, understanding attachment patterns, or working through thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions often include concrete skills, goal-setting, and time to process difficult memories and feelings.

Roian’s background includes work in behavioral health and substance use agencies, and experience with medicated-assisted treatment. Before becoming a therapist she spent a decade in human services supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities, which influences her practical, down-to-earth approach.

Clients seeking help for addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or abandonment and attachment issues may find relevant experience here. She also supports people coping with career challenges, parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, and compassion fatigue.

Roian emphasizes collaboration on goals and plans. She encourages people who are unsure where to start to bring whatever feels most pressing. Her office hours include weekdays and Saturdays, and she works with each person to create a plan that fits their life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that formed in close relationships and how they affect current trust, intimacy, and communication. It can help with abandonment, attachment issues, and related relationship concerns.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose or blend approaches that fit. This is a collaborative decision and can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which remote session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, simplify scheduling during work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use different approaches in remote sessions to teach coping skills, run behavioral experiments, and process emotions so therapy stays focused and practical even when meeting at a distance.
