About Angela

Dr. Angela Roberts is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia who draws on 30 years of clinical experience to help people facing complex emotional challenges.

Background and approach

She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered techniques and mindfulness practices to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and mood disorders. Her practice emphasizes practical skills and compassionate listening to support clients through life changes and periods of acute stress.

Her work also includes focused attention on first responder issues, post-traumatic stress, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and women’s issues. Using elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and motivational interviewing when appropriate, she helps clients develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and rebuild self-esteem.

Sessions are guided by respect for each person’s story and a goal of strengthening resilience and personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and skill building

Dr. Angela Roberts draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based strategies to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought that influence feelings and behaviors and then practicing concrete skills to shift those patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. Mindfulness Therapy helps people cultivate present-moment awareness and stress management skills, which can reduce reactivity and improve coping with grief, trauma-related symptoms, and compassion fatigue.

She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal setting so the therapeutic approach evolves with the client's needs. Determining the right combination of methods is a collaborative process in which the therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies to find what fits best.

Online therapy with Dr. Roberts is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills between meetings while staying connected with a licensed professional.
