    About Carleen

    Carleen Roberts is a licensed social worker (KS LSCSW) who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. She works in Kansas and offers services in English, and she welcomes international clients. Carleen presents a calm, direct approach that aims to help people take the next practical step toward feeling better.

    Her background includes years in mental health and crisis work, which shaped her focus on responding to urgent stress and emotional pain. She emphasizes cultural sensitivity and respect when talking about hard topics like loss, depression, or experiences of prejudice. Sessions are shaped around each person’s concerns rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

    Carleen draws on motivational interviewing to support people who want to find motivation and make changes. She also uses client-centered methods to listen closely and CBT techniques to help spot thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used to build small, practical steps people can use day to day.

    She often helps people facing caregiver stress, blended family challenges, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, immigration-related stress, and matters related to veterans and first responders. Carleen also supports people working through questions of life purpose, self-love, and midlife transitions.

    Her approach is collaborative: she tailors conversation and a plan to each person’s goals. To begin, readers should complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

  2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

    Carleen uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change; sessions focus on gentle questions and reflections that build motivation and clarify goals. This approach can help when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin a change.

    She also works in a client-centered way, which means sessions start with listening and follow the person’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are used to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood in place.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting the plan over time and trying different tools until something feels useful.

    The original profile did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow concise check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also require less bandwidth or let someone avoid being on camera for a shorter appointment. Ask about the current options when you schedule to find what fits your routine and needs.
