Morphology

Rogerian = Roger (semi-transparent) = Roger + ian

Morphologically clear as a proper name plus '-ian', but understanding requires knowledge of Carl Rogers and his methods.

Etymology

Rogerian comes from the name of the therapist Carl Rogers plus the ending -ian, which means 'belonging to' or 'related to', just like in musician. So a Rogerian approach means using Rogers' ideas of careful listening, empathy, and putting the client at the center.
