Dr. Warren Roby, LPC

Dr. Warren Roby is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who brings an educator's mindset to therapy. He treats counseling as a learning process where clients gather information, weigh options, and make clear choices. He helps people find words for their feelings and create practical steps forward, including during midlife transitions.

Before becoming a counselor he spent 35 years in higher education across six universities. That academic background shapes how he organizes sessions and helps with career concerns like burnout, workplace conflict, anxiety about downsizing, and involuntary termination. He also supports people facing life changes, grief, depression, anxiety, and issues with self-esteem.

Travel and international work have made him comfortable with cultural differences and with helping people preparing for overseas moves. He speaks English, Spanish, and French, and uses his linguistics training to clarify meaning and goals in session.

His approach blends client-centered listening with practical problem-solving. He invites people to tell their story, then works with them to identify small, achievable steps. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used when they fit the person’s needs.

Sessions focus on real-life plans and readable next chapters rather than abstract theory. People looking for help with career direction, coping with life changes, or the emotional turbulence of midlife may find this practical style helpful. He aims to leave people better able to make decisions and move forward.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can hear themselves more clearly. Online sessions can preserve this kind of careful listening while helping clients name feelings and priorities during conversation.

Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and life direction. It is useful for people facing major transitions such as a midlife re-evaluation or career change, helping them weigh values and options in plain terms.

The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. He will listen to goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what helps the client make practical progress.

Please confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Many people find online work useful because it makes scheduling easier, lets sessions fit around work or caregiving, and can reduce travel time. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and less reliance on high bandwidth when that matters. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and narrative work for remote sessions to help clients move forward.
