Rome Alexander, LICSW

Rome Alexander is a licensed therapist in Minnesota with more than 20 years of professional experience working with people facing anxiety, various forms of depression, grief, post-traumatic stress, and other psychological traumas. He holds the LICSW credential - a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - which reflects advanced training in clinical social work and direct therapeutic practice.

Rome approaches therapy with the belief that each person has already developed internal strengths through life experience, even when those strengths are not immediately obvious. His work focuses on helping clients identify what they already have, uncover any missing information they may need, and build or refine practical skills that support forward movement in their personal journeys. He frames therapy as a personal journey that the individual leads, supported by collaborative guidance and skill-building.

While lasting change requires some willingness from the individual to consider new choices and actions, Rome often incorporates appropriate, lighthearted moments to make planning and implementation more manageable and less intimidating. He aims to reduce fear around the therapeutic process so steps toward improvement feel achievable rather than grim.

Rome also acknowledges that people sometimes carry emotional baggage that should be addressed before deeper changes can take hold. He prepares clients for the fact that therapy can include challenging moments, while emphasizing that growth does not require repeatedly reliving past pain. Instead, his approach focuses on moving toward psychological growth in ways that respect each person’s pace and readiness.
