Dr. Angela Roberts, LPC - Therapist in Virginia

About Angela

Dr. Angela Roberts is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 30 years of clinical experience. She uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people when life feels overwhelming.

Her focus includes stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and mood concerns. She also pays attention to relationship and family worries and issues specific to women and first responders. Dr.

Roberts emphasizes clear, calm conversations and concrete skills you can try between sessions.

Background and approach

She blends client-centered listening with goal-focused work to reduce distress and build coping tools. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are used to change unhelpful thinking and stabilize strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when clients want to build awareness or find motivation for change.

She tailors approaches to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. That way therapy stays practical and relevant to daily life. In sessions she works through grief, trauma, guilt, and shame with attention to safety and pacing.

She helps people manage compassion fatigue and career-related stress alongside mood disorders such as bipolar conditions. The aim is steady progress and clearer choices, not quick fixes. People come to her hoping to feel more steady and more able to handle change.

Dr. Roberts listens closely, offers straightforward feedback, and sets actionable steps so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the persons experience. The therapist creates a space for people to talk through what matters to them and to set goals at their own pace. This approach helps when someone needs clear, nonjudgmental support and guidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems by breaking issues into manageable steps and homework exercises the client can try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It includes techniques for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness that are useful when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped in the past to decide which methods to use. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions. Many clients find that remote sessions still allow for focused conversation, skill practice, and progress from home or work.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
