About Roger
Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over three decades of practice. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and everyday thoughts and habits. Roger speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel practical and down-to-earth.
Roger uses a person-centered, solution-focused style. He works alongside clients to identify small, usable strategies for daily life. That can mean changing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new routines, or practicing ways to respond differently in difficult moments.
Over 33 years he has worked in community mental health settings and completed graduate study at the University of Washington. His background includes a long association with King County Mental Health and a broad range of clinical approaches he draws on as useful tools.
Roger lists approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He combines these methods to match the person in front of him rather than using a single fixed model.
He often helps people dealing with depression, bipolar conditions, addictions, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, caregiving stress, and career or life-change challenges. Roger is also interested in creativity and imagination, and in helping people move past barriers that limit their self-expression.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Roger draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to act in line with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as progress is made.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful for people who prefer not to use video or who need sessions that align with work or caregiving schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so that skills practice and tracking fit into everyday routines.
