About Jake
Jake Roberts is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with nine years of clinical experience in Oklahoma. He lists anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and addiction among the issues he works with. Jake also notes areas such as grief, self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes.
He trained in psychology and community counseling at Oklahoma State University. Jake is a Muscogee (Creek) tribal member and reports experience working with people from diverse backgrounds. His background includes work with trauma, substance use, and suicidal ideation, alongside longer-term mood concerns like bipolar disorder.
In sessions he focuses on clear, practical steps. He uses talking, specific skill practice, and goal-focused work to address symptoms and everyday problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are part of his approach for thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going.
Jake also incorporates EMDR methods for people with traumatic memories and uses Motivational Interviewing when helping someone change behaviors such as substance use. Solution-Focused techniques appear when people want brief, goal-centered work to make quick, manageable changes.
People can expect straightforward explanations of methods and a plan that links therapy tasks to life outside sessions. He encourages attention to family of origin issues, attachment and communication patterns when those are part of the concern. Jake lists additional focus areas including abandonment, control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and men's issues.
Sessions follow the site process for getting started, which includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment through the online options button.
How Jake combines approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their perspective, using listening and reflection so the client can lead the topics and pace. This approach helps when someone wants space to make sense of feelings and figure out what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories with a structured set of procedures aimed at reducing their emotional intensity and helping people process trauma.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. That conversation guides whether sessions focus more on CBT skill practice, EMDR procedures, motivational interviewing to support change, or a mix of methods.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people choose options like video or phone depending on what suits their schedule and situation.
