About Rosemary
Rosemary Maltese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting stress, relationship strain, and issues tied to family of origin. Rosemary also addresses self-esteem, career questions, grief, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She combines client-centered work with practical methods. Rosemary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She also incorporates EMDR for clients who are processing distressing memories and draws on mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment awareness.
Her approach pays attention to family systems and the ways early roles and expectations can shape adult life. She talks through patterns that come from upbringing, such as codependency, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. That focus also extends to adoption and foster care questions, and to navigating divorce or family conflict.
Practical skills and short-term strategies are part of sessions when useful. People who want help with anger, communication problems, commitment concerns, or setting boundaries can work on concrete tools and steps. Work on career decisions, life purpose, or compassion fatigue can be arranged into goal-focused conversations.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect a strengths-based orientation. The LPC credential is listed as Tennessee LPC. Prospective clients who want to start are invited to follow the site process for scheduling and matching.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. In practice this means the therapist reflects what a person says, asks clarifying questions, and supports them in naming goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to test and change patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT work commonly includes short skills practice, grounding techniques, and structured problem-solving that translate well to conversation-based sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the focus as progress and life circumstances change.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let the therapist and client try skills and homework between meetings to reinforce what is discussed in sessions.
