Rosemary Maltese, LPC

Rosemary Maltese is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in Tennessee with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career pressures, grief, parenting concerns, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps to handle everyday problems and strong feelings.

Her work blends client-centered listening with goal-focused methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced to help manage intense emotions and improve emotional regulation.

Rosemary also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories are part of the picture. Mindfulness exercises are offered to help people notice bodily signals and interrupt automatic reactions. Solution-Focused strategies help set clear, achievable goals so progress feels tangible.

She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and codependency when those patterns affect current relationships. Her background includes work with people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment wounds, and adult children of alcoholics themes.

Practical tools are central in sessions. Clients practice skills, plan for real situations, and track small changes between meetings. Rosemary encourages direct, steady work on the issues clients bring, including coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and navigating forgiveness or guilt.

For people who want to reduce snapping at loved ones or handle workplace frustration, she focuses on concrete strategies and clear goals. The emphasis is on learning manageable skills that apply to daily life.
