About Angela
Dr. Angela Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and mood disorders including bipolar conditions.
She takes a practical approach in sessions. She listens, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and suggests specific strategies to try between sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods to help clients change patterns that keep problems going.
Dr. Roberts also draws on client-centered techniques and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to address strong emotions and improve day-to-day coping. She works with issues related to first responder stress, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and women's issues. Her style emphasizes clear steps and skills people can use right away.
Clients can expect focused problem-solving alongside space to talk through difficult feelings. Sessions commonly cover skill practice, real-world experiments, and reviewing what helped or didn’t. The approach aims to reduce symptoms and increase the client’s ability to manage tough situations.
Her long experience in Virginia gives a broad perspective on mood disorders and compassion fatigue. People considering therapy are encouraged to ask about the mix of methods that will be used and how those methods fit their goals.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Roberts commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thought and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, and other mood problems. CBT sessions focus on concrete tasks such as tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing alternative behaviors that can be applied between appointments.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective and goals, offering space to talk through what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when strong emotions need clearer behavioral strategies, for example techniques for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. That collaborative decision-making is part of the work, not a separate step.
