Andrew Roberts, LMFT

Andrew Roberts, LMFT, earned a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in Marriage and Family Studies from Brigham Young University-Idaho and an M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, he brings ten years of clinical experience working with adolescents and adults.

Early in his career he worked full-time as a clinical therapist at Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health in League City, providing residential treatment for teens referred from across the country. There he addressed a wide range of complex problems, including oppositional defiant and conduct concerns, mood instability, parent-child interaction difficulties, personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder, suicidality and self-harm, substance use, and aggressive behavior.

More recently Andrew transitioned into private practice, focusing primarily on trauma, mood disorders, and relational concerns for both teens and adults, whether marital or familial. His physical office is located in the Southeast Houston area, and he currently meets exclusively online.

He tailors treatment to each person’s needs and most often uses a cognitive behavioral framework while integrating DBT and mindfulness skills to build coping strategies, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Andrew emphasizes collaborative goal setting and practical techniques that fit the client’s situation and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Andrew Roberts

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior and replacing them with more adaptive strategies. It is practical and skills-oriented, commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness. DBT is useful when mood instability, impulsivity, relationship conflict, or self-harm behaviors are present.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and bodily sensations to reduce reactivity and build resilience. These practices often complement CBT and DBT skills to support day-to-day management of stress and emotion.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Andrew, as a licensed professional, collaborates with each person to assess needs, set goals, and select methods that match preferences and circumstances so therapy feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills between meetings while working with a licensed therapist from different locations.
