About Margaret

Margaret Michelle Roberts is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with nine years of experience. She focuses on clear, practical therapy that emphasizes respect and collaboration. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take small, steady steps toward change.

She blends several methods to meet each person where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and choices.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes. Roberts has worked with issues such as addictions, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses topics like impulsivity, social anxiety, forgiveness, and life purpose.

Her experience includes supporting people facing substance use and divorce or separation when those issues arise. Sessions are practical and goal-focused. She listens without judgment, offers feedback, and suggests hands-on tools people can try between visits.

The emphasis is on steady progress rather than perfection. Margaret practices in Kentucky and works in English. She holds the Kentucky LPCC license number KY LPCC 168724.

The overall aim is to partner with each person to build skills and confidence for handling life’s challenges.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting support

Margaret often uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership. This approach focuses on the person’s goals and choices and helps people feel heard as they identify next steps.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to pinpoint thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks concerns into manageable pieces and offers clear tools to try between sessions, which is useful for stress, anxiety, mood issues, and parenting challenges.

Finding the right method is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Sessions are collaborative, with adjustments made as progress is tracked.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make meetings easier to fit into busy schedules. These formats let people access therapy from home, keep regular contact, and use different ways to communicate depending on what feels most useful. The focus is on practical help and steady progress, using techniques that translate well to remote sessions.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
