Dr. Angela Roberts

Dr. Angela Roberts is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 30 years of practice in Virginia. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping someone feel understood and regain a sense of direction.

She uses approaches that center the person’s experience and emphasize practical skills. Sessions often include ways to manage strong emotions, techniques to reduce worry, and paced steps for coping after loss or trauma. Dr. Roberts pays attention to how guilt, shame, and forgiveness influence recovery.

Her background includes long experience working with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and concerns common to women and first responders. She blends talk-based care with mindfulness and skill-building so people can practice new ways of responding between sessions. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes.

Dr. Roberts draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These tools are used flexibly to match a person’s needs and pace. She aims to help people build resilience and practical coping strategies.

People interested in addressing career stress, relationship strains, compassion fatigue, or coping with life changes will find focused attention on realistic steps forward. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the standards of her Virginia LPC credential.

How her approaches translate to online care

Dr. Roberts often relies on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions, which can make conversations feel collaborative and respectful. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments or behavior changes to see what helps reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT offers concrete tools for emotion regulation and can help when feelings become overwhelming or lead to impulsive actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying different techniques at first and adjusting based on what feels most useful.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or family commitments and reduced travel time.
