Rolanda Wray, LICSW

Rolanda Wray is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in the District of Columbia with 18 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship challenges, rebuild self-esteem, manage life transitions, and increase motivation and confidence. Her background also includes executive and professional coaching, supporting clients who want practical strategies for career and leadership growth.

Known for treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, Rolanda adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique circumstances and goals. She combines practical coaching skills with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as caregiver stress, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, post-traumatic stress, and questions around life purpose and self-love.

Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Rolanda honors that decision by offering tailored, collaborative support. She works with clients to set realistic goals and build the skills needed to move forward, whether through short-term coaching or longer-term therapeutic work.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Relationship and Life Work

Rolanda uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on changing unhelpful thinking and building new coping skills. These approaches help people reframe negative self-talk, develop healthier habits, and manage stress related to life transitions or trauma.

She also emphasizes communication and relationship-focused interventions that teach concrete skills for improving interactions, resolving conflict, and strengthening connections with partners, family members, or colleagues. For clients seeking forward momentum, Rolanda integrates coaching-style goal-setting and skill-building to support career, leadership, and life-purpose goals.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Rolanda works collaboratively to identify what best fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each step of the work.
