Kenneth Roberts, LPCC

Kenneth Roberts is a licensed professional clinical counselor who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He focuses on practical skills that can reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and address addiction-related patterns. His style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people make small changes that add up over time.

With 12 years of clinical experience, Kenneth commonly works with people coping with trauma, grief, depression, and stress. He also supports those facing substance use concerns, co-occurring mental health conditions, and struggles with self-esteem or anger. He brings attention to how thoughts, feelings, and habits interact in daily life.

Kenneth integrates trauma-focused methods when past harm continues to affect present functioning. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions combine skill teaching, problem solving, and emotional processing tailored to each person’s situation.

He believes painful experiences become manageable when they are talked about and understood rather than pushed away. In sessions he helps people name difficult feelings, try new behavior experiments, and build routines that support recovery. The aim is steady progress, not instant fixes.

Kenneth practices in Minnesota as an LPCC. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients for online work. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire to begin the matching and scheduling process.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Kenneth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms through clear, manageable exercises. He also draws from Trauma-Focused Therapy to address how past harm affects current reactions, guiding people to process painful memories and build coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help clarifying their own reasons for change and building motivation for steps forward.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kenneth will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what's been tried before, then adapt techniques to fit their needs rather than insisting on a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls for session-style work, phone sessions when video is impractical, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, handle shorter check-ins, or use less bandwidth when needed while continuing steady progress.
