Roger Nelson, LCSW

Roger Nelson, LCSW

Psychotherapist
HI
Hi there, I'm Roger! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kona, Hawai'i, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from The University of Utah. I work with adults and adolescents, specializing in anxiety, stress, and depression using proven techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to help clients see their past, present, and future path more clearly. **My approach** My approach varies based on the client's needs and goals. I most frequently use CBT, ACT, and IFS, as each helps clients understand their experiences, why they make certain choices, and guides a path to mental clarity and peace. **My focus** I find my approach fits those struggling with purpose and meaning—especially men facing life changes and young adults transitioning to adulthood. These struggles often show as stress, despair, confusion, and avoidance. I help clients gain insight and clarity, renewing their vigor for life. **My communication style** As a former crisis worker and trainer, my style is cool, calm, and collected! I am an eternal optimist and often root for the underdog in sports and life. I love sharing stories and listening to the unique story each client has to tell. **My journey to mental healthcare** I have always loved adventures and faced my own challenges. While pursuing a medical degree, I fell in love with psychology and therapy, leading me to change career paths. I have learned everyone has their own story of challenges, suffering, and triumphs, and I am passionate about listening as clients share their unique journeys.
