About Roxsanna
Roxsanna Stenuis is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem or relationships. Her style is warm and straightforward so parents and busy adults can grasp what to expect in a session.
Roxsanna uses narrative ideas to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-based choices and on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities. Cognitive behavioral tools and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when they fit the problem at hand. Sessions are practical and paced to each person.
Roxsanna helps people map patterns, practice new behaviors, and build coping skills for sleep, eating, anger, or attention challenges. She works with mood conditions such as bipolar symptoms and disruptive mood regulation concerns, and addresses issues tied to chronic illness, caregiving stress, or substance use.
Her work often tackles attachment and abandonment themes, body image, communication problems, and difficulty managing control or commitment. She also supports people coping with compassion fatigue, dissociation, or the aftermath of domestic violence and disaster-related stress. Roxsanna blends evidence-informed techniques with a conversational approach.
Sessions aim for concrete steps people can try between meetings, and adjustments are made as goals change over time.

Online session options
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Roxsanna draws on Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about their lives and separate themselves from unhelpful narratives. This work can be useful for issues like attachment wounds, identity questions, body image, and patterns that repeat across relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another key approach she uses; it focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match personal values, which helps with anxiety, grief, and chronic stress.She also leans on client-centered principles, keeping the agenda driven by the person in the room and offering empathy and reflection rather than prescriptive advice. Together these approaches are used in a collaborative way - Roxsanna will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods as goals evolve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats as needs change.
