About Jake
Jake Roberts uses a straightforward, person-focused approach to help people cope with stress, trauma, relationship strain, and other life challenges. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and he brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions. Jake writes and talks plainly so families and individuals can understand next steps.
He aims to make the first conversation feel manageable and clear. Jake draws on approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods.
Background and approach
In practice he listens for what matters most to each person and then pairs that with skills and plans they can try between sessions. He helps people reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, address addiction concerns, and work through grief or painful memories. Because many concerns involve relationships and family patterns, Jake pays attention to communication, attachment, and family-of-origin issues.
He also supports people dealing with anger, jealousy, control issues, and problems tied to fatherhood or parenting stress. Sessions involve setting small goals, rehearsing healthier responses, and tracking progress over time. Jake has training and experience addressing trauma and complex reactions such as dissociation and compassion fatigue.
He works with people facing identity and intimacy questions and those navigating major life changes. His style is practical, direct, and respectful of each person’s pace. Sessions are offered in English and take place online using video, phone, chat, or text formats.
He practices in Oklahoma and combines short-term strategies with longer-term work when needed.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems like anger or low self-esteem. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that targets distressing memories and the strong emotions tied to them and can be adapted for remote sessions when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and the problem they want to address. That may mean starting with listening and practical CBT skills, then adding trauma-focused techniques like EMDR if needed and welcomed by the client.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and options to connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and text or chat can support check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
