About Jake
Jake Roberts is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with nine years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, intimacy-related matters, parenting and anger. He also addresses self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
Jake trained at Oklahoma State University, earning a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Community Counseling. He is a Muscogee (Creek) tribal member and has a history of working with people from varied backgrounds. His background includes work with anxiety, depression, substance use, suicidal thoughts, and trauma.
His practice draws on client-centered therapy to focus on each person's perspective and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that feed problems like anxiety and depression. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related work, and borrows solution-focused and motivational techniques to support short-term goals.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Conversations aim to surface what matters most and build small, doable steps forward. Jake pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment concerns, communication problems, and fatherhood-related topics when those come up in sessions.
He works in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities, using listening and reflective conversation to clarify goals and next steps. It helps when someone feels unsure about their direction or needs a steady, respectful space to work things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and homework. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it gives clear tools to practice between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses trauma by processing distressing memories in a structured way and can reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals and comfort level. It is common to combine elements from different approaches and to adjust the plan as progress is made. Confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work or school day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let clients engage in therapy from wherever they are based in Oklahoma, while the therapist and client decide together how frequently to meet and which techniques to use between sessions.Areas of expertise
