About Rosemary
LICSW and LCSW in Maine with 20 years' experience, Rosemary Lough focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, depression, relationship and self-esteem concerns, career questions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Rosemary speaks English and practices in Maine. She does not accept international clients.
Rosemary approaches sessions with a strengths-based perspective. She helps people set clear goals and then works with them step by step to reach those goals. Sessions often include practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness exercises to manage symptoms and daily stress.
She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when someone wants to make behavior changes but feels stuck. The therapist-client relationship is used as a base to try out these methods together.
Rosemary has two decades of clinical experience in New England settings, including work with trauma, acute mental health issues, and the effects of medical problems on mood and functioning. That background informs how she understands grief and loss alongside other health challenges.
Sessions are collaborative: the approach is chosen with the person based on goals and what has worked for them before. She asks about practical concerns and helps clients build small, achievable steps. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions often include values clarification exercises, simple behavioral experiments, and short at-home practices to try between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this looks like reviewing recent situations, trying thought records, and practicing behavioral tasks that fit a person's daily routine.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own experience and pacing. In an online setting that means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the person decide which tools to try next rather than pushing a set program.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosemary will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans over time based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing therapy between life changes and helps people practice new skills in their usual environments.
