Roian Baalman , LPC

Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credentialed to practice in Missouri and Texas and holds additional training in substance use counseling as a Certified Reciprocal Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CRADC). With six years of professional experience, she has supported people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of other emotional and behavioral challenges.

Her background includes training and work in behavioral health and substance use agencies before transitioning to private practice. Roian has experience working with clinical mental illnesses and personality disorders and is well-versed in Medicated-Assisted-Treatment (MAT). Prior to becoming a therapist she spent ten years in the human services field supporting individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities, a period of service that influenced her commitment to counseling.

Roian uses a flexible, tailored approach that combines evidence-based strategies with a client-centered stance. She collaborates with each person to set clear goals and adapts methods to match individual needs, whether addressing childhood or sexual trauma, abandonment and attachment issues, coping skills, or concerns like self-esteem, career challenges, and caregiving stress.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Office hours are flexible, generally 9 am to 6 pm on weekdays with availability on Saturday, and she works with clients through a range of session formats to support progress and resilience.

Approach-Focused Care and Flexible Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with their values. It emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful behavior changes and is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current connections and emotional safety. This approach can help with abandonment concerns, intimacy issues, and relationship difficulties by fostering awareness and new ways of relating.

Roian approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and situation. She treats finding the right approach as part of the therapeutic process, adjusting strategies over time so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions provide practical benefits for many clients. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer scheduling flexibility, reduce travel time, and make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, or mobility needs. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured interventions, check-ins, and ongoing support while tailoring the experience to each client’s comfort and lifestyle.
