About Margaret
Margaret Michelle Roberts is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns. Her tone is accepting and straightforward, aiming to make therapy feel usable and realistic for day-to-day life.
Margaret uses a client-centered approach that starts by listening and building on what already works for each person.
Background and approach
She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Mindfulness and motivational methods are also part of her toolbox when motivation or focus is a barrier. Her background includes work as an addictions therapist and clinical leader, where she supported people with substance use issues and low motivation for change.
She has experience with trauma, emotional abuse, bipolar and mood disorders, and relationship and intimacy-related problems. Parenting and career concerns are common topics she addresses in sessions. In practical terms she aims for short-term, goal-focused work when that fits, and deeper exploration when clients need it.
Sessions emphasize clear steps clients can try between meetings, plus steady check-ins on progress. She describes her style as respectful and compassionate while also offering gentle challenges to promote growth. Margaret encourages people to focus on progress rather than perfection and to use strengths already present in their lives.
She offers video, phone, chat, and messaging formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Margaret often blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to create practical online sessions. Client-centered therapy means she begins by listening closely and tailoring each session to the person's needs, which helps when parenting or life stress feels overwhelming. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing different responses between sessions.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and respond differently in the moment, useful for anxiety, impulsivity, or parenting strain. The therapist treats choosing an approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their pace, adjusting as progress is tracked over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues when needed, while phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, questions between sessions, or a way to stay on track without a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and parenting routines.
