About Margaret Roberts

Hi, I’m Margaret Roberts (she/her), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriaged & Family Therapist (LMFT) with an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Rochester.

My Background

I started my career working with uninsured and underinsured individuals, couples, and families, as well as those who did not have access to healthcare. I’ve worked with clients in exploring and identifying cultural strengths, promoting intersectionality, growth and healing, and advocacy.

I have experience in marriage and family counseling, as well as therapy for children within the context of their families to assist them with issues affecting the entire system.

Approaching Therapy

Everyone has unique experiences that have led them to this moment in their lives, and their feelings and thoughts about it are valid. No matter where you are today, I will help guide and encourage you with acceptance, humor, kindness, and compassion. I welcome you to therapy if you are looking for help with boundaries, cohesion, and communication through working on problems stemming from trauma, identity, and relationships. I am here to help you.

Why can’t I break free from old identities and patterns that don’t work for me?

Many individuals find themselves struggling with understanding who they are, feeling disconnected from themselves, repeating patterns in relationships, or having difficulty setting boundaries. These challenges can be connected to experiences within their family of origin, past relationships, cultural influences, and major life transitions. These patterns can feel overwhelming or difficult to change, especially alone.

An Evidence-Based Approach to Healthier Choices and Self-Awareness

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an industry standard for helping individuals explore their experiences, relationships, values, and personal goals. ACT is an evidence-based form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that helps people face difficult thoughts and emotions instead of avoiding them.

Therapists often use an approach incorporating ACT to help clients develop psychological “flexibility” by learning to make space for difficult emotions, identify what matters most to them, and take steps toward creating a more meaningful life. This approach helps clients gain more self-awareness, improve relationships, develop healthier boundaries, and make choices that align with their values.

My Experience & Training in Counseling for Creating Positive Change

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Rochester. My training as a Marriage and Family Therapist provides a strong foundation in understanding individuals within the context of their family systems, relationships, culture, and life experiences.

I also have years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families with concerns related to identity, trauma, relationships, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and personal growth utilizing my training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Scheduling Therapy to Become A More Self-Aware, Confident "You"

If you are looking to develop greater self-awareness and learn new ways to respond to challenges or get support to set and reach personal goals for the life and relationships you want, consider meeting with me to learn more about ACT and how it could work for you.

Call or contact scheduling to schedule an online therapy appointment with me today from anywhere in Pennsylvania.

What to Expect

As your therapist, I will be supportive, share insight, challenge patterns, and cycles, and help you overcome your life barriers.

I will collaborate with you to explore your history, the present time, and how you would like to live and exist moving forward. I foster self-acceptance and personal, emotional, social, and relationship development. I am also an advocate to help you advocate for yourself within your family and community.

Techniques Training

My therapeutic style is holistic, meaning I will meet you where you are. I borrow from humanistic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), the constructionist perspective, psychoanalytic therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and systemic perspectives. I am also a DBT-informed therapist.
