About Melba
Melba (Fran) Roberts is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on grief and the many kinds of loss people face, and she aims to help clients move toward healing at their own pace.
She spent much of her career working in hospice settings, where she supported people through end-of-life concerns and the grief that follows. That experience informs how she listens and responds to intense loss, illness, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
Fran uses several practical approaches in sessions, including Jungian therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Client-Centered Therapy. She encourages people to speak about what matters most and to try techniques that fit their daily life. Her style is steady and respectful.
She offers straightforward guidance, gentle reflection, and space to process strong emotions. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client, with attention to emotional safety and personal values. Fran often works with concerns such as grief, depression, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, relationship and communication problems, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people coping with cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, caregiving strain, isolation, guilt and shame, and women's issues. Clients can expect a cooperative approach that blends listening with specific tools for coping. Fran helps people practice new ways of handling stress and loss so they can find more balance and meaning over time.

Online support
Approaches you can use in online therapy
Jungian therapy helps people pay attention to dreams, symbols, and life stories to find deeper meaning after loss or life change. It can be useful when someone wants to understand personal patterns and inner images that shape feelings and decisions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult emotions while taking steps toward a values-driven life. It offers simple exercises for coping with anxiety, grief, and stress while clarifying what matters most to a person.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in the room, offering empathy and nonjudgmental listening so clients feel understood and can choose their own path. This approach supports emotional expression and gradual change through a trusting relationship.
Fran treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will discuss options, try methods that match your goals, and adjust as needed. The work is collaborative and based on what feels helpful in session.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and full interaction, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access care from different places.
