About Carleen
Carleen Roberts is a licensed social worker who focuses on building connection and practical coping skills. She uses straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Carleen introduces tools that people can use between sessions to feel steadier day to day.
She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and draws on a history of crisis work. That work taught her to listen for what matters most and to respond with clear, actionable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person's priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Carleen mixes client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques. She helps people notice thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and then practices small changes to shift those patterns.
Mindfulness practices are offered for stress reduction and grounding when emotions feel overwhelming. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used to set goals and track progress. These approaches help people break larger problems into manageable steps and keep momentum toward change.
Carleen aims for small, sustainable improvements rather than dramatic, quick fixes. She emphasizes cultural sensitivity and respect in every conversation. Carleen tailors the pace and focus to each person’s life, whether the work centers on grief, caregiving strain, identity concerns, or finding renewed purpose.
Sessions are conducted in English and are available to international clients when needed.
How Carleen Uses Talk, Tools, and Mindfulness Online
Carleen often combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices. Client-centered work focuses on understanding your experience and following your goals in session. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches brief grounding and breathing practices to reduce stress and strengthen attention.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She will talk with you about your goals and try simple techniques together to see what helps. Over a few sessions she adjusts the plan based on what feels useful and what fits your life, so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter, more flexible touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
