More about Roian
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and Texas, credentialed in substance abuse counseling as a Certified Reciprocal Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CRADC). I have over 6-years of professional work experience, including but not limited to helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, career counseling, spirituality, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, imposter syndrome, emotional intelligence, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, abandonment, rejection, safety, and security issues. I have also worked with clients with clinical mental illnesses and personality disorders. I spent time training and working in Behavioral Health and Substance Use Agencies before going into private practice (see The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illnesses). Additionally, I am well-versed in Medicated-Assisted-Treatment (MAT).
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the Human Services field for ten years with individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. I also have a vast array of personal life experience in the areas in which I specialize. While I do not think we must have experienced what our fellow man/woman is going through to empathize with them, I believe that, in my case, it directed my path to the field of therapy/counseling.
My therapeutic approach will be tailored to your specific needs, and you and I will work together to determine your therapy goals. It's okay if you don't know or feel the list is too long to mention. Together we will find the answers you are looking for to help guide you in your journey.
I will work with you to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. The first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life is courage. I am here to support you in that process, and I am so proud of you for taking that first step already.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Roian has been a great resource! She is very empathetic, gives timely strategies, and follow up info. Appreciate her so much!
I’m so glad I got Roian for my therapist!! I was skeptical about trying therapy again but I’m thankful I gave it one more shot! She literally helped me from our very first session. She listened to me and is so easy to talk to, and she got me going on some worksheets and some “homework” that have really gotten me to see things. She really “gets it” and is genuinely a very caring person who wants to help. Thank you Roian!!
Very helpful! I really enjoyed our session and would like to continue therapy.
Roian, had helped me navigate the stressors in my life and provided me with the tools to empower me to be the support I need for myself. She has given me invaluable information, hope and a sense of self and self worth. I am aware of when to ask for help or signs I may be struggling that I have in the past chose to ignore. Thank you for being an advocate for me and having the confidence in me helped me do that for myself.
Roian has been so patient and kind. This was a new thing for me, and she made me feel comfortable, yet challenged me. This platform and Roian have been a great start for me and truly appreciative of the time I have had with her.
Very understanding
She is absolutely wonderful. She listens, she relates to me, and I couldn’t ask for a better therapist
Professionally Roian is beyond knowledgeable. However, personally Roian has the ability to connect because of her spiritual soul if-you-will. And, because of her spiritual soul, Roian has an amazing ability to understand you, with empathy and sympathy. Therefore, Roian provides you with wisdom that I believe to be a Godsend.
So grateful I was matched with Roian Baalman. She has a fundamental deep understanding of so many life events and traumas that affect us all. It has allowed me to find meaning and make connections to the whys in my life which is necessary to live forward in peace. She provides many resources and tools to help me find greater inner peace and joy and acceptance of those who have hurt me.
She really listen, understanding and kind. I highly recommend her. She wonderful
Roian has been a true blessing to work with. She is very caring and has alot of knowledge, and insight to provide hope for a brighter future. She listens and really wants to help her clients feel better. Highly reccomend !!!!
I feel lucky being paired with Roian right off the bat!! I love how she shares her own personal experiences, because it makes me less fearful to share mine. She's a great listener and gives me really good homework to do. I've only seen her twice and feel like I'm on the right path forward!
Roian has been great to work with, and she is a great listening ear. She’s offered great advice to help get me through a hard time between relationship ending, job loss, and family stress. She is such a kind person and relatable. I’d recommend her to anyone for support, and am so glad I chose her as my counselor!
Roian is very understanding and honest person. She keeps everything professional, but also being responsive. She has a lot of experience and is very knowledgeable.
Roían makes me feel at ease when talking to her.
Roian is very kind and listens to what I have to say! She offers different perspectives and insight that I am not always able to see. She is great!
Roian listens to what I have to say. I’m not great at opening up without judgement in most cases but she has made me feel more comfortable with talking through my confused headspace. She correlates her experiences with mine and has made me understand what I’m going through is normal and I don’t feel alone anymore
She literally helped me out of an anxiety whole I was in for over 15 years! Roian is so personable and relatable! She’s full of knowledge and is there to help anytime! I highly recommend her!
Roian has been much more helpful than other therapists that I have used before on BetterHelp. She has had similar life experiences and gives me Christ centered feedback which I love.
Great!
She’s wonderful.
I'm uncomfortable talking to others, she makes me feel comfortable opening up.
I am completely happy and so relieved that I was matched with such a great therapist. I feel that we have accomplished a lot together she is a great communicator and explains things in ways that are simple and welcoming to understand.
She is so amazing and very caring I’ve tried different therapists on here but she actually shows me that she wants to help and makes time for me, she listens and she gives me worksheets to work on to help me with this healing journey. If that is what you are looking for she is for you!
