Kenneth Roberts , LPCC

"You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you."

Kenneth Roberts, LPCC, is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in Minnesota who focuses on co-occurring disorders and the complex interplay of mental health and substance use. He brings twelve years of clinical experience to work with people facing unresolved trauma, addictions, mood disorders, and challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship difficulties. As an LPCC he holds a license to provide clinical counseling and uses that training to guide assessment and treatment planning.

Kenneth is particularly committed to trauma-informed care and is certified in multiple evidence-based trauma-focused therapy modalities. He emphasizes the importance of naming and exploring painful experiences rather than keeping them hidden, believing that bringing difficult emotions into view creates opportunities for insight and growth. His approach balances practical coping strategies with compassionate attention to the meanings and memories that shape a person’s life.

With a background in treating addiction and co-morbid conditions, Kenneth combines structured therapeutic methods with motivational support to help people identify goals, reduce harmful patterns, and rebuild connections with themselves and others. He frames recovery as a process of small, steady steps toward greater functioning and well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Kenneth Roberts

Kenneth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and mood instability. This approach focuses on clear skills and short-term goals to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the effects of traumatic experiences. Kenneth works with evidence-based trauma methods to help people process traumatic memories, reduce intrusive symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety and agency over time.

Motivational Interviewing is incorporated when clients are exploring change related to addictions or ambivalence about treatment. This collaborative style supports a person’s own motivation and helps identify personally meaningful reasons to pursue recovery or behavioral change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the therapeutic process. Kenneth works with clients and licensed professionals to tailor methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make these approaches more accessible by offering flexible scheduling and multiple ways to engage. These formats allow clients to receive consistent therapeutic support while fitting care into their everyday lives.
