About Margaret

Margaret Michelle Roberts is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, practicing in Kentucky with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anger, addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stresses, and trauma. Sessions focus on practical change and clearer thinking rather than labels or long lectures.

Her background includes work as an addictions therapist and a clinical leader. That work brought regular contact with people dealing with substance use, low motivation for change, and the fallout of emotional or physical abuse. She draws on that hands-on experience when helping people manage anger and impulsive reactions.

Her approach centers on the client and uses concrete techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice thinking and behavior patterns that feed anger. Solution-focused steps and motivational interviewing help break problems into small, workable goals and build momentum for change.

Sessions are practical and direct. She listens for what is getting in the way, suggests simple tools to try between meetings, and checks progress over time. The emphasis is on skills you can use at home, at work, or in relationships to reduce flare-ups and regret.

Margaret aims to respect each person and push for steady progress. People who want straightforward coaching around anger, substance use, mood swings, or difficult life changes may find her style fits their needs. Scheduling begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session.

Using client-centered, CBT and motivational approaches online

Margaret commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship so people can decide what matters most. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep anger and mood problems going and teaches specific skills to change them. Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation is low by exploring ambivalence and supporting small steps toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to figure out which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets clients try strategies between sessions and then review what helped during the next meeting.
