About Rolita

Rolita Wielkie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Southwestern New York with three decades of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She brings both professional depth and personal perspective to her work, having navigated her own struggles and used counseling services herself. That combination of lived experience and clinical background informs a compassionate, practical style that emphasizes each client as an individual.

She has worked in both outpatient and inpatient clinical settings and has supported diverse clients of all ages. Outside of counseling, Rolita is a mother of two adult daughters and a grandmother to four grandchildren, and she is a certified Group Fitness Instructor. Those roles contribute to her holistic view of wellbeing and her appreciation for strengths found in relationships, family life, and daily routines.

Her therapeutic stance is person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative, encouraging clients to recognize and build on their own strengths while defining clear goals. She integrates Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy into a tailored plan rather than relying on a single method, adapting interventions to the priorities and preferences of each client. Presently she offers phone and live chat sessions and is not offering video sessions at this time. She often checks in with clients between appointments within reason and welcomes contact as part of an ongoing, supportive process.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client is understood and accepted. This approach helps people clarify their own goals, build self-awareness, and draw on internal strengths when facing stress, life changes, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based method that helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with daily challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skill-building in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is useful for clients who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rolita works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors methods so therapy feels relevant and useful. Clients and the therapist regularly review progress and adjust strategies together.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or transportation limits, and maintain continuity of care from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver effective therapeutic work through these formats while adapting techniques to the medium and the client’s needs.
