About Rome
Rome Alexander is a Minnesota licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with 21 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. He speaks plainly about strengths a person already carries and focuses on practical steps to move forward. He strives to make therapy manageable and sometimes uses gentle humor to ease tense moments.
He begins by looking for what is already working in a person’s life. Then he helps locate missing information and practical skills that can be tried between sessions. He emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time rather than sudden, sweeping transformations.
Sessions balance direct problem-solving with attention to emotional experience. He acknowledges that some work will feel challenging, and that sorting through old baggage may be necessary before making deeper shifts. He also stresses that therapy does not need to be grim and that lightness can be part of steady progress.
Rome pays particular attention to anxiety-related concerns, including panic disorder and panic attacks, along with stress and post-traumatic stress. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, career questions, and questions about life purpose and forgiveness.
His style is collaborative and straightforward. He helps people set realistic goals and practices new skills together. For someone seeking steady guidance on anxiety, grief, or major life changes, he aims to offer clear steps and steady support.
Approaches that address symptoms and skills online
He describes his work as focused on practical, evidence-based techniques that help people manage anxiety and trauma symptoms. One common approach emphasizes teaching concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic - breathing strategies, grounding exercises, and step-by-step plans for handling panic attacks. These tools are meant to reduce immediate distress and give people ways to regain control during high-anxiety moments.Another strand of work attends to trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process distressing memories at a tolerable pace and build new ways of staying present. This often involves pacing the work carefully, practicing skills that reduce reactivity, and developing routines that support daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will try techniques that fit the situation. Adjustments are made along the way based on what is helpful.

Some people prefer shorter check-ins on a break, while others schedule regular longer sessions to work through deeper issues.
