Background and approach
First responder issues, women's issues, and challenges tied to guilt, shame, and forgiveness are areas she often addresses. Her style mixes clear problem-solving with emotional support. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and DBT strategies to build emotional regulation.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when people want to build awareness and move toward concrete goals. Sessions focus on practical skills and real-life application. People work on manageable steps between meetings and revisit what helps most.
Dr. Roberts aims to build resilience and coping strategies that fit daily life. Her long experience gives her familiarity with many kinds of struggles, but she keeps work grounded and immediate.
People who want calm, steady guidance and tools for coping often find the sessions useful.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Dr. Roberts commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy centers conversations on the person's own goals and priorities, giving space to tell their story and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT offers step-by-step skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating stress without making things worse. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss options, try methods together, and adjust based on what helps the person meet their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and use skills in day-to-day moments.
