Roger Midgett , LICSW

Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a long career in counseling and behavioral interventions. He earned his MSW, a Master of Social Work, from the University of Washington and has maintained a long association with King County Mental Health. Over the course of his practice he has developed a solution-focused, person-centered style that aims to help people identify practical strategies for change.

He has received training in a range of therapeutic models, including Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, psychodynamic approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That breadth allows him to tailor interventions to the needs of individuals experiencing mood and thought disorders, and to collaborate with clients on which tools will best address their concerns.

Roger also brings a particular interest in creativity and imagination to his work, supporting clients who want to move past barriers that limit their self-expression. He helps prepare people for the risks and rewards of sharing their ideas and creations, while guiding them toward practical ways to engage more fully with their lives and relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and develop small, practical steps to live in alignment with those values. It often assists with anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of meaningful action.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the process, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. This approach is helpful for those facing life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and relationship challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured strategies and practice. It is commonly used for mood and anxiety disorders, as well as coping with stress and changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roger collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time to support progress.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access care from wherever someone is located. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow for continuity of care during busy periods, and give clients multiple ways to communicate with licensed professionals and therapists based on what works best for them.
