Roberta Garrett , LCSW, CSW

Roberta Garrett brings four decades of experience in medical and mental health settings as well as in private practice, working with adults facing complex life challenges. She is licensed in Colorado as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and holds the CSW credential, a recognized social work qualification. Over a 40-year career she has focused on addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and loss, and the practical coping skills needed during major life transitions.

Roberta helps people navigate trauma, compassion fatigue, depression, and substance-related issues while also addressing caregiving stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. Her work often includes support around family of origin patterns, codependency, infidelity, and the emotional aftermath of divorce and separation. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and emphasizes collaboration, helping individuals identify strengths and build strategies that fit their daily lives.

Clients work with Roberta to create an open space for expressing thoughts and emotions, and to take steady steps toward a more fulfilling life. She frames change as a courageous process and seeks to empower each person to set meaningful goals and develop practical skills to reach them.

Client-Centered and Narrative Approaches for Online Care

Roberta Garrett uses client-centered therapy to place the person and their experience at the heart of the work. This approach encourages self-exploration, helps clients identify their priorities, and supports growth through empathy and active listening - it is often helpful for people coping with grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Narrative therapy is another key approach she uses, inviting people to separate themselves from problems and to reframe difficult stories. By examining the narratives that shape identity, clients can uncover strengths, rewrite limiting beliefs, and find new ways to address addictions, trauma, and recurring patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Roberta will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online sessions can be delivered through video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, caregiving, or health-related constraints, so people can access therapeutic support in ways that suit their daily lives.
