Carleen Roberts, LSCSW

Carleen Roberts is a licensed social worker who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses a warm, respectful style to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes such as midlife transitions. Carleen lists her credential as LSCSW and practices in Kansas while working with English-speaking clients, including international clients when arrangements allow.

She frames sessions around what the person needs most. Conversations are tailored to each situation and guided by the client's goals. Carleen draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors.

Her background includes six years of clinical experience as a licensed social worker in mental health settings. That experience has included supporting people facing caregiving strain, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, and end-of-life issues. She also notes work related to first responder and veteran concerns, immigration stresses, and multicultural or discrimination-related struggles.

Carleen emphasizes practical steps and moment-to-moment tools. She blends mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people notice what works, set small goals, and track change. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants clarity or a push to move toward new choices.

People who choose her can expect an empathic, straightforward approach that centers their values. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead. In practice this means sessions begin by checking what matters most to the client and adapting the conversation to their pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and uses small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting; this can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust based on what feels helpful. Goals and preferences guide which methods are emphasized, and changes are reviewed over time to keep work practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and maintain continuity when schedules are disrupted. It also lets people use brief check-ins or focused sessions when they need a shorter contact rather than a full-length appointment.
