About Melba
Melba (Fran) Roberts is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief, loss, and life changes and supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and caregiver strain. Her approach is grounded in listening and creating space for real feelings to be named.
Fran draws on a mix of methods to match what each person needs. She often uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help uncover and work with strong emotions.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when helpful for coping skills and shifting unhelpful patterns. Her background includes an M.A. in Counseling and Human Services from the University of Colorado and substantial experience at Pikes Peak Hospice, where she supported people facing serious illness and bereavement.
That work shaped her calm, steady style and her attention to how loss shows up in everyday life. In a session Fran listens without rushing and invites people to speak at their own pace. She helps identify small, practical steps for managing anxiety, grief, and relationship tensions.
She also addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, women's issues, and concerns tied to cancer and end-of-life situations. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Fran uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and tailors the format and pace to the individual's needs.

Online support
Emotion and Skill-Based Therapy Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with core emotions that drive relationship and personal patterns. It guides clients to notice feelings, name them, and respond differently so old emotional cycles loosen their hold.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes because it focuses on living a meaningful life even with hard emotions.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person's experience and pace. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection so people can feel heard and begin to find their own solutions.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Fran will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and style. She listens to what is most important and adjusts the plan over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
