New to Grow
My name is Chris Roselli, and I am an outpatient therapist who works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My practice is grounded in a supportive, collaborative, and practical approach, with a focus on helping clients better understand themselves, build coping skills, and create meaningful change in their daily lives. I have a particular interest in working with veterans, active-duty military members, first responders, and individuals in high-stress helping professions.
During our first session, my goal is to create a comfortable and supportive space where you can begin sharing what brought you to therapy at your own pace. We will review your current concerns, background, goals, and what you are hoping to get out of treatment. I may ask questions to better understand your symptoms, stressors, strengths, and supports, but the first session is also about building trust and making sure therapy feels like a good fit for you.
My approach stands out because I combine clinical support with a practical, down-to-earth style that helps clients feel understood while also working toward real change. I focus on creating a collaborative space where clients can explore patterns, build coping skills, and connect therapy to their everyday lives. My experience working with veterans, active-duty military members, first responders, and individuals in high-stress roles also helps me understand the unique pressures that can come with service, responsibility, trauma exposure, and burnout.
Other specialties
I identify as
Psychodynamic
In therapy, I may use a psychodynamic approach to help you better understand how past experiences, relationships, family dynamics, trauma, or earlier life patterns may still be affecting how you think, feel, cope, and relate to others today. This does not mean we only focus on the past; instead, we look at how old patterns may show up in current stress, relationships, work, parenting, self-esteem, emotional reactions, or avoidance. My goal would be to help you notice repeated themes, better understand your emotional responses, and develop more insight into why certain situations feel especially difficult or triggering. From there, we can work together on healthier ways to respond, communicate, set boundaries, manage emotions, and make choices that feel more aligned with who you are now. I typically combine this with practical coping skills, supportive therapy, trauma-informed care, and goal-focused work so that therapy feels both reflective and useful in your everyday life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In therapy, I may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and physical reactions. CBT can be helpful when stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma responses, or relationship problems are being reinforced by certain thinking patterns or coping habits. Together, we would look at how you interpret situations, what thoughts come up automatically, and how those thoughts may affect your mood or actions. We would also work on identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck, such as avoidance, negative self-talk, overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional reactions, or difficulty following through. CBT is practical and skill-based. We may work on coping strategies, grounding skills, problem-solving, communication, challenging unhelpful thoughts, building healthier routines, and practicing new responses outside of session. The goal is not to “think positive,” but to develop more balanced, realistic, and effective ways of managing life’s challenges.
