Roger Pawlak has been in practice 13 years and is licensed in Florida. Roger lists relationship issues, trauma and abuse and grief among 25 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.

01 · Who Roger works with
Roger lists 16 specialisms and 9 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Roger chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Roger's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 15 years of clinical experience. I am a grounded and compassionate therapist who walks alongside Veterans, couples, and individuals navigating the weight of trauma, grief, and disconnection. Drawing from both professional expertise and life experience, I specialize in helping people move through PTSD, anxiety, and relational wounds with care, clarity, and purpose.
In our work together, you’ll find a non-judgmental space where your story is honored. Whether you’re carrying the invisible wounds of service, rebuilding trust in your relationship, or seeking emotional balance in your daily life, we’ll approach it together-step by step. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to support meaningful, lasting change.
My approach is deeply trauma-informed, centered on safety, respect, and empowerment. I aim to help you reconnect with your values, strengthen your resilience, and find healing that resonates not just in your mind, but in your relationships, purpose, and spiritual life-if that’s part of your journey.
You don’t have to carry it all alone. Whether you’re ready to break cycles, rebuild trust, or rediscover your strength, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, connection, and wholeness-on your terms, at your pace.
Let’s start your journey toward change-together.

03 · What happens next
Roger practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Roger's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Roger at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Roger is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Roger.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Roger actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Roger's - Roger has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Roger's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 10 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Roger. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
