Carleen Roberts

Carleen Roberts is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and she lists life purpose among her areas of focus. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Roberts emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical steps. She uses approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and build day-to-day habits. Sessions tend to center on what feels most pressing and what can be tried between meetings.

Her background includes work with aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, blended family issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and first responder and veteran-related concerns. She also addresses multicultural issues, immigration-related stress, prejudice and discrimination, and women's issues. This makes her familiar with a wide range of life transitions and cultural contexts.

In practical terms, she helps people chart next steps when they feel stuck or unsure. Conversations may include examining thoughts that fuel anxiety, practicing short mindfulness exercises, setting small achievable goals, and using motivational interviewing to clarify values and priorities. The focus is on what can shift in daily life rather than abstract theories.

Clients who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In practice this means sessions begin with open questions, and the therapist reflects back concerns so the client can spot priorities and decide what to try next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online work often includes short exercises between sessions, worksheets, and focused check-ins to track what shifts in daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief, practical attention skills to reduce reactivity. These practices can be guided in-session and then repeated during the week to help calm stress and anchor decision-making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.

The biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use video, audio, or other formats depending on what works best for scheduling, comfort, and bandwidth.
