About Angela

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Angela Roberts focuses on anxiety, trauma, grief, mood concerns, and related life challenges. She works with people facing stress, depression, relationship strain, career concerns, and issues tied to guilt, shame, and forgiveness. Sessions are conducted in English and the practice is based in Virginia.

Dr. Roberts uses client-centered methods to keep conversations practical and grounded. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking. Dialectical behavior techniques are used to teach emotion regulation and coping skills when feelings feel overwhelming.

Her background includes long experience supporting people affected by trauma and by work-related stress, including first responder issues. She also focuses on women's issues, grief, and mood disorders such as bipolar conditions. Her work pays attention to the effects of abuse, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions include straightforward talk, skills practice, and mindfulness exercises when helpful. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify goals and support behavior change. The emphasis is on practical strategies that can be used between sessions.

Dr. Roberts asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of their concerns. It helps when someone needs a steady, non-directive space to talk through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can include short practical exercises and thought records to use between meetings for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be taught in session and practiced afterward to manage intense emotions or anger.

Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to pick approaches based on a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine methods as appropriate.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these advantages to focus on skill building and goal-oriented steps that fit everyday life.
