About Carleen

Carleen Roberts is a licensed social worker (LSCSW) who centers her practice on evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and difficult life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience in mental health settings and emphasizes respectful, culturally aware care tailored to each person's situation. Her approach blends practical skills with empathic listening to help clients build resilience and clearer thinking patterns.

Originally from Jamaica and now practicing in Kansas, Roberts brings a human-centered perspective to work with concerns such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration-related stress, mood disorders, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.

She also supports exploration of life purpose, midlife transitions, and women’s issues while attending to self-love and multicultural considerations. Roberts invites clients to shape the goals and pace of therapy, offering direction and collaboration as they pursue meaningful change and improved daily functioning.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management and focuses on concrete tools and skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and shaping treatment around the client's own goals and values, creating a collaborative environment for exploring personal concerns. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of emotions, which can support coping with grief, low self-esteem, and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist will work together with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so that techniques align with what feels most helpful for the client.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care while accommodating work, caregiving duties, or geographic distance, and they allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support in formats that suit each individual's life.
