Counseling, Addiction Therapy, Social Work

Ms. Deborah Roberts works as a social work, counseling, and addiction therapy specialist in Portsmouth, RI and South Kingstown, RI.

"I have never had such a terrible experience with a therapist. Across three sessions, her advice was given without any understanding of the background of the situation or me as a person. Have a narcissistic parent who uses gifts as a weapon? I’m too sensitive because everyone received bad gifts. Been referred by a clinical psychotherapist for high levels of anxiety? Everyone has anxiety, you know. Unhappy with your roommates? Boomer advises to move out. Have an unkind thought? It’s shocking that anyone can stand to be around me and have I heard about complimenting people? Our last session was literally an attack, with me defending every thought, while she acted like I was the most horrible person she’d ever encountered. I’m incredibly grateful for my strong support system and the wisdom to know that she was off base and unkind, but I worry about someone in a more fragile state. "

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a type of professional guidance for handling problems in life. There are many types of counselors, and they serve an incredibly wide variety of people with all kinds of different needs. There are general counselors, marriage and family counselors, school and student counselors, career and vocational counselors, religious counselors, and gerontological counselors specifically for the elderly.

In all cases, counseling works when the client and the counselor talk to each other and develop a trusting relationship. The counselor listens respectfully to the client's problems. Then the two together work on identifying goals, increasing coping skills to overcome any troubles, and improving useful skills such as communication. The goals of counseling will be different for each person, but generally they include an increased sense of well being, decreased distress and anxiety, resolved crisis, and increased ability and function in daily life.
