Roxanne Roybal de Diaz, LPC
Compassionate somatic-informed therapist helping people heal
About Roxanne
Roxanne Roybal de Diaz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She uses a somatic-informed approach alongside talk therapies to help people carry emotional change out of the therapy room and into daily life. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at building trust and safety so clients can address what matters most to them.
Roxanne brings 13 years of experience working across community, inpatient, and educational settings.
Background and approach
She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD. She also addresses eating issues, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes. She works with attachment and family of origin issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and communication or commitment problems.
Roxanne also supports people impacted by domestic violence, divorce and separation, and first responder stress. Her practice reflects attention to co-morbidity and overlapping difficulties that many people face. In sessions she combines body-centered somatic techniques with evidence-informed talk therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to meet needs in different ways.
She and the client set goals together and tailor the plan to the person's background and preferences. Roxanne conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. She holds licensure in South Carolina as an LPC and offers flexible online formats to fit different schedules.
How somatic work and evidence-based therapy translate online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to sensations in the body and how they relate to emotions. In practice this can mean learning gentle grounding exercises, noticing tension patterns, and using breath or movement to help regulate strong feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name their values and take actions that match those values, even when emotions are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and content of sessions. This approach supports people who need empathy and space to make sense of their experience. Roxanne will work collaboratively to find the mix of approaches that fits a person's goals, preferences, and needs rather than relying on a single method.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it possible to practice grounding and skills between sessions and to schedule care around work, school, or family commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt somatic and talk-based techniques to online formats so therapy feels practical and accessible.
