About Carleen
Carleen Roberts is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Carleen draws on client-centered methods to focus conversations on what matters most to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work help when someone needs practical steps and short-term goals.
Carleen brings experience from crisis work and from supporting people through loss, caregiver strain, and transitions such as immigration or retirement. She also addresses issues related to aging, blended family dynamics, first responder stress, veteran concerns, and prejudice or multicultural challenges. Her approach aims to be culturally aware and respectful of each person's background.
In sessions she listens for what the person wants to change and helps identify small, doable steps. Conversations often include checking thoughts and behaviors, building coping skills, and setting concrete goals to test between meetings. Homework or short experiments may be offered to practice new ways of responding.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to the session. Online sessions can still center on the person's goals, feelings, and priorities while the therapist reflects and asks questions that clarify what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and test different behaviors. In virtual meetings, CBT tools like thought records, behavior experiments, and short skill practices can be reviewed and adjusted together between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment. These techniques can be taught and practiced in real time and then tried during the week to see what helps with stress or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time based on what the person finds useful.
The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce the need to travel, and let people use audio-only meetings when bandwidth or camera use is difficult.
