About Gail Roberson
Gail Roberson, MS, LPC, LMLP, is a seasoned mental health professional with 35 years of clinical experience. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and a Licensed Masters Level Psychologist credential, credentials that reflect advanced graduate training and state-level licensure to provide counseling and psychological support. Gail combines evidence-based methods with a solution-focused style to create individualized treatment plans that address both immediate concerns and longer-term life goals.
Gail practices exclusively via remote counseling and conducts sessions from a fully equipped private office housed in her RV as she travels with her husband and their Tonkinese cats, Apollo and Jazzi. She enjoys connecting clients with practical mental health tools and teaching strategies they can use day to day, and she also writes children’s books that help young readers navigate real-life challenges. Her approach emphasizes listening without judgment and offering a range of paths toward change rather than a single prescribed solution.
Across a multi-decade career Gail has worked with a wide variety of issues including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and family dynamics, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, mood disorders, ADHD, and caregiving stress. She integrates approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-informed work, and client-centered techniques to meet each person’s unique needs. Gail values collaboration and helps clients identify practical steps to move toward the life experiences they want to create.
Over five years ago she transitioned her practice fully to tele-counseling to make therapy more accessible and reduce the hassles of travel for clients. She is currently accepting new clients in Missouri and offers flexible session formats to match individual preferences and schedules.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and navigating life changes by focusing on meaningful goals and practical steps.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. It is often helpful for relationship concerns, intimacy issues, abandonment and attachment difficulties, and blended family dynamics by identifying relational patterns and fostering healthier bonds.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while the client explores their own answers. This person-focused approach supports self-esteem, coping with change, and building resilience.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gail works with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, tailoring interventions and adjusting strategies as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to meet from familiar settings. These options provide flexibility in how and when therapy happens, allowing therapists and licensed professionals to adapt format and pace to each client’s circumstances and comfort level.
