About Roger
Roger Midgett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with 33 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of emotional and life challenges. Roger focuses on practical strategies that address immediate needs and recurring patterns.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral approaches. In sessions he helps people name hard emotions and notice the patterns that keep them stuck. He looks for clear steps a person can try between meetings and checks how those steps are working.
Roger has a background that includes an MSW from the University of Washington and long experience in community mental health in King County. That experience informs his practical orientation toward the problems people bring into therapy. He pays attention to how past relationships affect present feelings and choices.
He is also interested in creativity and imagination, and how those qualities get blocked. He helps people identify barriers to expressing themselves and takes gradual steps toward sharing creative work when a person is ready. Sessions often blend talking, focused emotion work, and behavior-focused practice.

How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name hard emotions and the interaction patterns those feelings create. In brief, EFT guides attention to moment-to-moment emotional experience and the ways emotions drive behavior in relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning practical ways to act on them even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. ACT offers strategies for managing avoidance and moving toward meaningful goals.
Attachment-Based Therapy highlights how early relationships shape expectations about closeness and safety. It is useful for understanding recurring fears around connection and commitment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roger treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which method or combination best fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. He often blends emotion-focused exercises with behaviorally oriented practice so clients can test changes between sessions.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example by avoiding travel, offering shorter check-ins when time is limited, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. Ask about session length, cadence, and any technical requirements when you schedule your first appointment.
