About Mitchell
Mitchell Rouzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 35 years of experience working with adults. He focuses on common problems people bring from home and work, including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and issues tied to identity and intimacy.
He has worked with people affected by physical trauma and emotional abuse. His background includes supporting first responders, survivors of the World Trade Center attack, and combat veterans. He also addresses mood disorders, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue.
His way of working is interactive and validating. Sessions are practical and conversational. He mixes approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns and try different ways of responding.
Mitchell pays attention to attachment dynamics and emotional experiences in close relationships. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice moments that matter and shift how they relate to others and themselves.
People who prefer steady, experienced guidance tend to fit his style. He does not use diagnostic labels to define someone. Instead he focuses on clear goals and steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and present relationship patterns affect how people respond to stress and closeness. It can help when trust, distance, or repeating conflicts make home life harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with daily routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions in close relationships and helps people identify and change moments that keep patterns going.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, what has helped before, and daily life constraints. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for example by removing travel time or offering shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continued work after a significant life event or during periods of change, while the therapist and client find practical ways to schedule sessions that match routines and energy levels.
