About Roian Baalman
Roian Baalman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing with licenses in Missouri and Texas, and she also holds a Certified Reciprocal Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CRADC) credential for substance abuse counseling. She brings more than six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, career transitions, motivation and self-esteem concerns. Her background includes work in behavioral health and substance use agencies as well as private practice, and she is familiar with Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) when that is part of a client’s care plan.
Prior to becoming a therapist, she spent a decade in the human services field working with individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities, an experience that influenced her decision to pursue counseling. She has supported people coping with childhood and sexual trauma, abandonment and rejection, safety and security concerns, as well as clinical mental health conditions and personality disorders. Roian emphasizes a tailored approach - blending therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs and goals - and she works collaboratively with clients to set meaningful objectives even when those goals feel unclear.
She aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored. Office hours are listed as flexible, generally from 9 am to 6 pm with Saturday availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Roian Baalman uses proven approaches to help clients explore values, relationships, and behavior in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while guiding practical action toward personal values - it can help with anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust - it is useful for addressing abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a supportive environment where the client’s own goals and insights guide the work - this approach supports self-esteem, identity questions, and recovery from trauma.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Roian works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to maintain continuity through life changes. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support and accessible care without requiring in-person visits.
