Jake Roberts , LPC

Jake Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who combines formal training with a practical, client-focused approach. He earned a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University, and he brings nine years of hands-on experience working with people facing a range of challenges. He also identifies as a Muscogee (Creek) tribal member, which informs his understanding of cultural context and the importance of respectful, individualized care.

Roberts has specialized training in several trauma-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for chronic pain, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). He commonly works with individuals coping with anxiety, depression, substance use, suicidal ideation, and trauma, tailoring interventions to each person's history and goals. His clinical style emphasizes collaboration and practical skills that clients can use between sessions.

As an LPC, Roberts focuses on building a therapeutic relationship that supports recovery and resilience. He draws on evidence-informed techniques to address symptoms and life stressors, while also attending to the broader context of relationships, identity, and personal meaning.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Jake Roberts integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online work to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps people clarify their values and goals - it can be especially helpful for relationship, self-esteem, and life-purpose concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing troubling memories and reducing their emotional intensity when appropriate for the client's history.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Jake Roberts works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts techniques over time so the plan fits the person rather than expecting the person to fit a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and brief check-ins or therapeutic exchanges can be handled through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options helps people access consistent care around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity with their therapist.
