About Jake
Jake Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with nine years of clinical work. He holds a Masters in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University and a background in psychology. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship concerns, and grief.
He draws on client-centered therapy to listen and understand how each concern fits into a person's life. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. His practice includes EMDR work for people who carry intrusive memories or strong bodily reactions from past events.
Jake has experience supporting people managing intimacy and parenting stress, male-specific concerns, and issues around identity including LGBT matters. He also addresses specific struggles such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, abandonment, and attachment problems. He describes work with anger, jealousy, and control issues as part of day-to-day clinical focus.
In sessions he uses practical, skills-based approaches like motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies when helpful. That can mean short goal-focused conversations or longer work on trauma-related symptoms depending on the person’s needs. He aims to match methods to what feels manageable for the client.
Jake is a Muscogee (Creek) tribal member and brings years of experience with diverse backgrounds into his practice. People interested in starting can expect clear next steps for scheduling and a focus on what can be done in regular session time.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps people identify what matters most to them. It fits issues like relationship problems, parenting strain, and feelings of guilt because the work begins with the client's own descriptions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps. That approach uses exercises and homework to test beliefs and try new behaviors. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain shame or repeated avoidance. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distressing memories and their physical reactions. In sessions it typically involves focused attention on memory material alongside guided processing to reduce intensity and reframe meaning. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative decision and adjustments are made over time based on what helps. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists commonly combine listening, skills practice, and brief between-session tasks to keep progress moving in regular appointments.Areas of expertise
