About Margaret
Margaret Michelle Roberts is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as anger, addictions, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and related mood and impulse issues. Margaret uses practical strategies to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild daily functioning.
Her background includes substantial work as an addictions therapist and clinical leader. She has supported people facing substance use difficulties, low motivation for change, and treatment resistance. She has also worked with clients who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
In sessions she blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused methods to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Margaret emphasizes respectful, clear communication and sets straightforward goals with clients. She asks direct questions, offers behavioral tools, and tracks small, measurable steps toward improvement.
She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy techniques when appropriate. These approaches are used to explore personal stories, shift unhelpful thinking, and increase commitment to change. Clients can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and homework that relates to real-life situations.
Margaret encourages progress over perfection and works collaboratively to set achievable aims. She speaks English and practices in Kentucky as an LPCC. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s lead and clarify goals in simple, client-focused language. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote work CBT is used to spot unhelpful thinking, try behavioral experiments, and practice new reactions between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress; brief exercises are often assigned as short daily practices.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Margaret will review your goals, preferences, and past experiences and help decide which methods to try first. She will check in and adjust the plan as you go, using measurable steps to track progress instead of promising a single solution.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports straightforward teaching of CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing conversations without changing the practical tools used in person.
