Roger Pawlak, LMHC

Roger Pawlak is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 13 years of experience. He focuses on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, and related concerns that affect daily life and close connections.

Roger works directly with individuals. He draws on life experience alongside clinical practice to guide conversations about trauma, trust, and emotional overwhelm. Sessions aim to clarify what feels most urgent and to build steps that fit into day-to-day life.

His background includes long-term clinical work with people affected by service-related trauma and other high-stress careers. That experience informs how he talks about symptoms, coping strategies, and repairing ruptures in close relationships. He describes his approach as trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based techniques.

In practical terms, Roger helps people process grief, manage strong emotions like anger, and address patterns that get in the way of intimacy or parenting concerns. He also supports those struggling with addiction, bipolar mood issues, sleep disturbance, and career stress. He acknowledges multicultural and identity-related pressures as part of many clients' lives.

Sessions typically focus on clear goals and manageable steps. Roger uses structured therapies to address traumatic memories and thinking patterns, alongside motivational work to support change. He encourages straightforward conversations about expectations and next steps before moving into deeper trauma work. This helps people feel more prepared and in control of the process.
