Jake Roberts , LPC

Jake Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who draws on formal training and years of clinical work to support people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and related concerns. He completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Community Counseling at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and is a Muscogee (Creek) tribal member. Jake combines evidence-based therapies with culturally aware practice to meet the needs of clients from diverse backgrounds.

He has specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and integrates those methods to address symptoms linked to trauma, mood disorders, and addictive behaviors. Over nine years of clinical experience inform his work with individuals coping with suicidal ideation, grief, family and relationship struggles, and complications related to identity and intimacy.

Jake aims to create a collaborative treatment plan that honors each person’s history and goals, using measurable techniques to reduce distress and build coping skills. As an LPC, he focuses on practical strategies and tailored interventions while remaining attentive to cultural and familial contexts that shape a person’s experience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Jake integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR into a flexible online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and the client’s own goals - the therapist follows the client’s lead to build understanding and strengthen self-direction, which can help with relationship, identity, and self-esteem concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. EMDR uses guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation alongside trauma processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories - it is commonly applied for trauma and abuse-related symptoms.

Deciding which approach to use is treated as a collaborative process. Jake works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and treatment goals, adjusting techniques over time so the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single modality.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility constraints. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations and allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are not feasible.
