About Rosemary
Rosemary Maltese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns commonly faced in early adulthood and beyond, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, relationship problems, and coping with life changes.
She also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her work includes addressing family of origin issues, codependency, attachment concerns, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Rosemary uses a straightforward, person-centered style. She combines client-centered counseling with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work to set practical goals and teach skills that make everyday life easier. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas are also used to help manage strong emotions and improve thinking patterns.
When trauma is present, she includes approaches such as EMDR alongside other methods to reduce the intensity of painful memories and reactions. Sessions aim to identify strengths, develop coping strategies, and build clearer plans for change.
Her practice pays attention to how family systems shape current problems and choices. People who want to look at relationship patterns, commitment concerns, or communication struggles can expect a mix of skill-building and reflective conversation. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to set up a first session.
How Rosemary uses specific approaches online
Rosemary commonly draws on client-centered therapy to create a conversational, attentive space where the client's concerns guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, clarifying what matters most, and helping people name concrete next steps. CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, shows up as practical skills and strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck with career or study concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rosemary will work with each person to discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skills training, emotion regulation, trauma work, or a mix of approaches.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around class, work, or commuting schedules. They may allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and help people maintain continuity while juggling job or study commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to work in remote sessions so therapy can fit into a young adult's life without unnecessary disruption.
