About Roxana
Roxana Chavez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with three years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Roxana also focuses on chronic pain, illness and disability, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, and women’s issues.
She comes from community mental health and direct client care. That background means she is used to practical, day-to-day problems as well as complex histories. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change or understand about their reactions and behavior.
Roxana teaches introductory mindfulness and uses that in sessions to help with emotional regulation and grounded attention. She combines simple, evidence-based techniques with conversational work. Clients can expect strategies for handling spikes of anger, reducing rumination, and managing stress in the moment.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her rather than on labels. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and then tries small, testable changes to daily habits and thinking. Progress is tracked in concrete ways, like fewer angry outbursts or clearer communication in stressful situations.
Roxana works in English and practices in Massachusetts as an LICSW. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the approach fits their needs.
How sessions work
Therapeutic techniques and online sessions
Roxana uses mindfulness-based practices to help people notice physical signs of anger and redirect attention. Mindfulness here is taught in short, practical exercises that aim to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness.She also works with trauma-informed approaches to understand how past experiences shape present anger and stress responses. That work focuses on safety, pacing, and building small coping skills rather than pushing through difficult memories all at once.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roxana collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what the person reports is helping.
