About Jake
Jake Roberts is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction concerns, grief, parenting pressures, anger, and related issues.
He draws on client-centered methods to build practical, down-to-earth sessions. Jake uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. He also brings EMDR when trauma memories are a central concern.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. He helps people name what triggers their anger, notice patterns that keep it cycling, and practice small behavior changes that reduce flare-ups. For some people that means skill work for managing stress. For others it means addressing past events that keep emotions raw.
Jake also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to support change in short term steps. That can be useful when someone wants clear actions to try between sessions. He aims to keep suggestions simple and practical so people can use them in daily life.
He trained at Oklahoma State University, completing a Masters in Community Counseling after a Bachelor’s in Psychology. Jake is a Muscogee (Creek) tribal member and reports experience with a wide variety of life situations and cultural backgrounds. His approach is straightforward and action-oriented. If someone is unsure what they need, he helps set an initial focus and reassesses as therapy progresses.
How Jake uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and experiences, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify goals and next steps. It can help when anger feels tied to unmet needs or communication breakdowns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches concrete skills to test unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that lead to angry reactions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories so they have less emotional intensity; it can be helpful when past events fuel current anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jake will discuss what feels most useful, try an approach, and adjust as goals and circumstances change. This is a collaborative process that aims for clear, practical steps the client can use between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try techniques in the settings where anger often comes up, so the therapist and client can adapt strategies to real-life moments.
