About Rosemary

Rosemary Holderman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and family issues. She works with adults and adolescents and understands how life changes can affect mood, relationships, and daily functioning. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at practical progress rather than jargon.

Over 40 years, Rosemary has worked in many settings including juvenile corrections, group homes, in-home counseling, public mental health, and with the Department of Children and Families in Florida.

Background and approach

That range shaped her ability to respond to trauma, grief, domestic violence, and transitions. She has provided individual counseling, group work, and family-focused interventions. Rosemary emphasizes an honest, open working relationship.

She describes the client as the leader and herself as a guide, listening closely and offering steady support. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings. Her approach draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, dialectical skills, and acceptance-based strategies.

Those methods are used to address anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, relationship concerns, and issues tied to adoption, caregiving, or blended families. People who choose Rosemary often want practical techniques and a calming presence during tough changes. She aims to help clients move toward their goals with empathy and experience, offering both short-term coping strategies and longer-term skill building.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and family care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and attention challenges. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, accepting space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports growth.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and everyday struggles, then suggest strategies from these methods. Together you can try different tools and adjust based on what helps most for your parenting or family concerns.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or skill practice between meetings. These options give flexibility so people can keep progress moving even with school, work, or caregiving demands.
