Roberta Garrett, LCSW, CSW

Roberta Garrett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and holds a CSW credential, licensed to practice in Colorado with 40 years of professional experience across medical and mental health settings as well as in private practice. Over four decades she has worked with people facing addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief and loss, and major life transitions, bringing a steady, experienced presence to difficult moments.

Her work focuses on helping individuals build practical coping skills, address depression, and navigate trauma, abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also supports clients dealing with aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and end-of-life issues, drawing on a broad clinical background to tailor care to each situation.

Garrett emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. She views seeking help as an act of courage and partners with clients to support and empower them as they pursue more fulfilling, balanced lives. Her approach centers on collaboration, respect, and practical strategies that reflect each client’s goals and values.

Client-centered and narrative approaches for online care

Roberta Garrett draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes the client’s perspective and encourages self-exploration in a supportive, nonjudgmental way. This approach helps people clarify their values, build self-trust, and develop practical coping skills for issues like depression, grief, and relationship stress.

She also uses narrative therapy, which examines the stories people tell about their lives and helps reframe those narratives to reduce the impact of problems and open new possibilities. Narrative work can be especially useful for addressing trauma, shame, codependency, and identity-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Garrett collaborates with each person to identify methods and goals that fit their needs, preferences, and pace, adjusting techniques as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Roberta offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage mobility or health limitations, and continue support through life transitions. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care in a format that works for the client.
