About Angela
Dr. Angela Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common and painful concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress. Her practice also addresses career strain, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, and challenges linked to mood disorders.
She uses conversational, person-focused methods to help people talk through upsetting events and strong emotions. Sessions typically look at current patterns of thinking and behavior, and build practical skills for handling intense feelings. Clients learn ways to notice triggers, slow reactions, and try different responses when anger or shame arises.
Dr. Roberts draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behavior strategies to increase emotional regulation. She also uses client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to help people become steadier in day-to-day life. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy help when people want to make concrete changes or reframe difficult stories from their past.
Her work includes attention to first responder issues, women’s concerns, forgiveness, and coping with loss. She pays attention to how guilt and shame show up and how they affect behavior. With long experience in trauma-related work, she supports people processing post-traumatic stress and abuse.
Sessions are offered in English from Virginia. People who want to begin are asked to use the online matching tool, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what a person says. Online sessions using this approach focus on clear, steady conversation so the client can sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns. In remote sessions CBT is used to identify unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors between meetings, and review what worked. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance; it can be taught in short exercises and practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems that brought someone in, then jointly select methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online offerings before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people use mindfulness or skills practice in real life between sessions, making therapy more practical for everyday situations.
