About Nakia

Nakia Roberson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and building self-esteem. She offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Nakia emphasizes collaboration and practical steps so clients feel more confident moving forward. With 14 years of professional experience, she brings a calm, goal-oriented approach to sessions.

She encourages clients to name their strengths and use them to meet current challenges. Conversations are aimed at creating clear next steps and improving everyday interactions.

Nakia uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, including the Gottman Method for relationship work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address values and coping. She also draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to keep sessions focused and useful.

Her background includes running a group practice in Texas where she shares mental health and relationship tools through social media and community resources. Nakia aims to make therapy a practical part of life, not just something that happens in a session.

Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space that balances emotional care with concrete skills. Nakia helps people clarify goals, manage stressors, and practice new ways of relating.

She supports growth that fits each person’s pace and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches for online relationship and life work

Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing repetitive conflicts in relationships by teaching specific skills for connection and problem-solving. It is often used when people want clearer ways to manage arguments and rebuild trust.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for coping with anxiety, stress, and life changes by combining mindful awareness with committed behavior change.

Nakia takes a collaborative approach to choosing methods. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls allow more visual cues for relationship work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or when clients prefer written reflections. These options make it possible to keep consistent momentum even with busy lives.
