About Rosemary
Rosemary Maltese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 11 years of experience. She offers a compassionate, person-focused approach that helps people name what feels hard and take small steps forward. Her style combines practical strategies with encouragement so clients can work toward their goals.
Rosemary often blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods. That means sessions typically include listening, identifying patterns of thinking, and trying concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or improve mood. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people calm racing thoughts and stay present.
Her background includes work with issues such as stress, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, and relationship problems. She has experience helping people cope with life changes, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Adoption and foster care appears among additional focus areas she addresses.
Rosemary describes her approach as strengths-based. She looks for practical ways clients can use their own resources to move past obstacles. Sessions aim to be supportive and straightforward, with tools tailored to each person’s needs.
People who choose her often want both emotional support and clear steps they can practice between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. Online sessions let the therapist hear what matters to you and reflect it back, helping you feel understood and decide what you want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift patterns; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear skills to practice between visits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, with an emphasis on balancing acceptance and change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you’ll decide which techniques to use and how to pace work so it feels manageable.
Confirm the session formats before booking as current options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings during breaks or after work. Some people find phone or video sessions helpful for shorter check-ins or practicing coping skills in real-life moments. Discuss scheduling and format choices when you complete the matching questionnaire to find an arrangement that works for you.
