About Jake
Jake Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. He combines practical therapy methods with a straightforward style to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Jake often supports men facing identity, relationship, and life-purpose concerns and addresses issues like grief, addiction, and parenting strain.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in community counseling from Oklahoma State University. Jake brings nine years of professional experience working with people from varied backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBT and those coping with complex family-of-origin problems.
In sessions he uses client-centered work alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques and trauma-focused tools such as EMDR to address upsetting memories and persistent negative thoughts. He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set practical goals and small steps forward.
Jake pays attention to patterns that come from early attachment and abandonment wounds, and he helps people practice clearer communication and anger management. He will work with clients on issues like intimacy, fatherhood concerns, control problems, and rebuilding self-esteem.
His approach is collaborative and direct. He listens first, then helps people make a step-by-step plan to manage symptoms and try out new habits. People who want a therapist who combines practical skills with attention to life stories often look to Jake for support.
Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping each person set the pace of change. This approach is useful for issues like relationship strain, self-esteem, and exploring life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It helps people learn practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and anger by testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process painful memories so they lose some of their intensity. It is typically used when past events continue to cause strong emotional or physical reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then pick or combine methods that suit those needs. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel like a good match rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether they prefer video or a different format depending on what works for them.
