Hi Misia! So good of you to try to save this plant...it will reward you, just be patient. You have been given lots of good advise here, so I won't repeat other than to say - get it out of that pot, and completely replace the potting medium. I would recommend some coco bark, but whatever you use, make sure it is fresh...do not reuse what is in there. The brownish roots are damaged or dead - cut them off. Use VERY sharp scissors and clean them before cutting anything else. If your orchid is outside, you may want to get it into a sunnier spot than is shown in the pic. You want air circulation around the plant...if it is inside, you might try a light fan. If you have any other specific questions, be sure to post them...we will all keep an eye out for you. Good luck!

Yokwe,
