Carleen Roberts, LSCSW

Carleen Roberts is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) who centers her work on building trusting relationships. She aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and understood. Her approach emphasizes listening first and then collaborating on practical steps forward.

She uses client-centered methods to shape sessions around each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behavior. Mindfulness practices are offered to calm the body and increase moment-to-moment awareness.

Carleen has six years of documented clinical experience in Kansas and brings prior crisis work into routine care. That background informs how she responds when stress, grief, or sudden change arises. She focuses on clear, doable strategies rather than long lists of concepts.

Areas she commonly addresses include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, immigration challenges, and issues related to veterans and first responders.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and life circumstances. She emphasizes cultural sensitivity and respect. People can expect a collaborative tone where the therapist listens, suggests options, and supports steps toward what matters most to the client.

Approaches and what online work can offer

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps set goals that feel right for the individual.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting pulled into them. These techniques can help reduce rumination, ease overwhelm, and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm which formats this therapist currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works best. It can also let people choose whether they want practices that use breathing, short worksheets, or talk-based sessions to match their daily routine.
