Shirin Roberts, LMFT

Shirin Roberts is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 26 years of professional experience. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, motivation, and anger. She works with people who want clearer thinking and steadier reactions in daily life.

She follows a client-centered approach, which means she starts by listening and learning how each person experiences their challenges. From there she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She also draws on EMDR techniques when past trauma keeps coming up, and on mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to build short-term coping skills.

Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Expect to talk about specific situations that trigger strong reactions and to try concrete skills you can use between visits. The therapist pays attention to what works for each person and adjusts the plan as needed.

Her background across several decades includes helping people facing grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, addiction-related concerns, and workplace pressure. She also addresses intimacy issues, sleep problems, and career-related stress.

Shirin practices in California and conducts work in English. If you want to explore changing how you respond to anger or stress, she guides practical steps and helps you track small, steady improvements.
