Duane F. Roberts

LCSWA

Duane F. Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) who earned his Master of Social Work from UNC Charlotte in 2026.

Since 1993, his journey in education, starting as a special education teacher for students diagnosed with learning disabilities, has centered on a single core truth: true transformation happens when people feel seen, valued, and met right where they are. In the classroom, his focus was to provide students with the tailored skills and practical tools they needed to succeed. He enters therapy with that exact same dedication, meeting you where you are today and empowering you to achieve your personal goals.

He brings a grounded, vibrant passion into every session, offering a warm, non-judgmental space where you can drop the heavy armor, speak with absolute honesty, and be met with genuine compassion.

He blends evidence-based, flexible strategies tailored to your unique journey:

• Mindfulness Practices: Learn to anchor yourself in the present moment, regulate your emotional responses, and cultivate a sense of calm resilience amidst life’s challenges.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Unpack persistent thought patterns and equip yourself with actionable, real-world tools to create lasting, positive change.
• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT): Learn to navigate difficult thoughts and feelings, reconnect with your core values, and craft a rich, intentional life.
• Motivational Interviewing: Ignite your internal drive, overcome hesitation, and cultivate the momentum needed to achieve meaningful goals.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” what is broken. It’s about discovering how whole you already are and stepping into your power. Having navigated his own moments of hesitation before opening up, he knows firsthand that keeping feelings bottled up only magnifies the weight. Healing begins the moment you give your story room to breathe. He is here to walk alongside you with endless patience, joyful encouragement, and steady support.

As a devoted husband and father of two young men and a soon-to-be grandfather, family and personal evolution are at the absolute heart of who he is. He brings that same warmth, dedication, and care into our therapeutic relationship.

If you are ready to explore your story, build new tools for growth, and thrive in an uplifting, totally judgment-free space, he would be honored to partner with you. Let’s take this step forward together!

Outside of the office, Duane is an avid sports fan. His favorite sport is football at both the collegiate and professional levels.
