Aanii, Welcome to Better Help.
I’m honored to be considered to walk with you on your personal healing journey. My name is Roxsanna Stenuis and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Michigan. I completed my Master’s of Social Work at Michigan State University. My clinical internships were in Domestic Violence and Geriatric Assessment. Upon graduation I directed a Child Abuse Program within a Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse setting. Additionally I’ve worked providing ER crisis intervention and psychiatric screening. I spent the remaining 15 years providing outpatient therapy within Community Mental Heath. Throughout my career I’ve worked and treated a variety of mental health conditions; with specific expertise in Mood, Anxiety, Borderline Personality and Substance Use Disorders . In addition, I have extensive experience treating past trauma.
My theoretical perspective is eclectic, pulling primarily from Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy’s and Mindfulness-based Interventions.Over my career I have had the opportunity to be trained extensively in CBT, DBT, MI, SA, trauma, and have found no one intervention fits all. I personally believe finding the right therapist is like finding a new pair of jeans. You may know your size but each jean brand will have a different fit. Therapists, too, are similar. We may all have the same degree, trained in the same interventions, however we each will “fit” differently. If you should choose to explore our fit, previous clients have appreciated my genuineness, dependability, trustworthiness, and warmth.
The most important component to effective therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to provide you with a safe, nonjudgmental, empathetic alliance whereby you can identify, explore and process your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
I can sincerely commit to being fully present in the moment with you. I will communicate in a genuine, easy manner avoiding diagnostic terms and medical jargon. I’m open to direct feedback and encourage a collaborative approach to therapy. I strongly believe we are the experts of our own lives and will, therefore, seek to maintain a supportive non-directive approach.
If you want to look at my schedule please click on Better Help. I look forward to talking to you.

Roxsanna helped me before through a challenging relationship and some major life changes- I couldn’t have done it alone. I joined again to get support through a difficult work situation and Roxsanna once again provided the tools and guidance I needed to get through. I’m grateful for her expertise, resources, and support.

Roxsanna has the trifecta: expertise, kindness, and empathy. She helps me understand the core of my issues, and gently and thoughtfully gives me tools to deal with them in constructive ways that empower me to be heard in a way that I can maintain. She has truly changed my life and I owe a great deal of my good experiences to her guidance and care. :)

Roxsanna has great expertise that I can’t get from anyone or anywhere else. She has a wonderful personality, great humor, and can make me calm down about any situation that I feel very upset about or overwhelmed.

Roxsanna is amazing. Although it is very important to find a good fit for therapy, and I have one with her, she also displays universal good qualities of punctuality, follow through, decades of experience, active listening.
