About Angela
Dr. Angela Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and anger. She also helps people managing career transitions, mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Dr. Roberts uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. She listens to what is happening now and helps clients name patterns that fuel anger or recurring upset. Practical tools are offered to reduce reactivity and improve communication at work and at home.
Her background includes long experience supporting first responders and addressing post-traumatic stress. She helps people work through guilt, shame, and the process of forgiveness when those come up. These themes often connect to anger, and she addresses them together rather than as separate issues.
Therapeutic approaches include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These methods show up as pacing, skill practice, and short homework to try between sessions.
Sessions focus on clear goals such as managing temper, reducing overwhelm, or rebuilding trust after conflict. Dr. Roberts encourages steady progress with practical steps and regular review of what helps most. People looking to start are asked to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to see if the fit feels right.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions. Online sessions use that same focus to identify what matters most and set realistic goals for anger and related concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into clear parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions she can teach thought records, behavioral experiments, and small homework tasks to reduce anger triggers and improve coping.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be practiced in short guided exercises during sessions and applied between meetings to manage reactivity.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with each client to test what methods fit their goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as the client learns which tools help most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help keep continuity when life gets hectic, while still using concrete practice and skills between meetings.
