About
As a clinician with 22 years of experience in the mental health field, I understand the unique issues of clients with different personal, ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.
Catherine Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience in the mental health field. She understands the unique issues of clients with different personal, ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.
Catherine enjoys working with clients who are experiencing self-identity, interpersonal relational issues that affect their job and family dynamics. This is her ideal type of client to work with because there is a lot of self-exploration the client will need to work on first. Some of the issues that will come up are self-loathing, lack of esteem, shame, and poor self-image. As a clinician, Catherine provides them support and total acceptance. When the client can begin to embrace and accept who they are without judgment, they can begin to work on how they relate to other people in all areas of their life. This can be done slowly and one step at a time. The pace is usually set by the client and how they progress along in treatment as they embrace each stage of their new self.
Catherine began her career in the mental health field as a therapist in an inpatient facility, responsible for the patient's ongoing clinical progress while at the hospital. Her patients varied in ages from 10 to 12-year-old children, to 13 to 17-year-old adolescents, to 18 to 55-year-old adults, and seniors who were in crisis. She worked with patients who were diagnosed with Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Anxiety, Major Depression, Obsessive Impulsive Disorder, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Mood Disorder, Alcohol/Drug Dependency, Conduct Disorder, and Sleep disorder, just to name a few.
Catherine really enjoys getting to know people while working with them on their unique concerns. She offers a very supportive and client-centered environment to therapy, and she loves helping clients move toward their goals by being a partner in their journey towards a renewed self and clinically appropriate treatment. She enjoys working with clients and assigning them research-based homework activities to help them work independently on areas of concerns outside of the sessions. Her areas of specialty include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, interpersonal therapy, and other researched based therapeutic approaches that are appropriate to treatment.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)
Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
Elizabeth: My go-to approach is a mixture of the Gottman Method, ACT, and the Satir Growth Model.
Anthony: "My go-to approach for helping couples is called emotionally focused therapy (EFT). I use this approach because it helps couples get to the root of their struggles—usually not just about communication, but about feeling disconnected or not fully supported in the relationship. EFT helps you and your partner recognize the negative patterns you may get stuck in (like arguing or shutting down), and guides you toward new ways of connecting, where both of you feel heard, valued, and emotionally safe. This approach is gentle, respectful, and backed by research. It’s not about blaming each other—it's about understanding each other better and rebuilding a stronger, more loving bond. Whether you’re feeling distant, stuck in the same fights, or just want to strengthen your connection, EFT gives us a clear path forward—together."
Elizabeth: I teach communication skills, active listening skills, validation of emotions, and conflict resolution skills.
Anthony: "I help couples move from disconnection and frustration to understanding and closeness by teaching tools like:
Elizabeth: I know couples are making progress when they can communicate effectively and show vulnerability.
Anthony: I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples counseling when they communicate more openly and listen with empathy instead of reacting defensively. They break old negative patterns, repair conflicts more easily, and start building small habits that strengthen their connection. Ultimately, progress looks like feeling closer, safer, and more hopeful together.
Elizabeth: Clients can supplement therapy by practicing the skills they learn in sessions on their own time.
Anthony: Clients can supplement their time in couples counseling by staying engaged with each other between sessions. This might mean making a little extra time to talk, check in, or do something together that feels meaningful. Taking care of yourself personally also helps the relationship stay strong. We’ll work together to figure out what’s best for you as a couple.
Elizabeth: You can understand and articulate what goals you want to work on in therapy.
Anthony: To prepare for your first couples counseling session, you can take some time to think about what brought you here and what you hope to get out of counseling. It’s helpful to be ready to share your perspective openly and listen to your partner’s as well. Try to come with an open mind and a willingness to work together, even if it feels uncomfortable at times. Remember, this is a safe space where both of you can be heard and supported.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Thriveworks Marietta is here to help you achieve a happier, healthier relationship. We can help you make your relationship thrive and flourish—whether you are struggling through any of these or other difficulties, the problem can be overcome, and we can help you do it. Call Thriveworks Marietta in Cobb County today to schedule an appointment with a relationship counselor or psychologist.
At Thriveworks, the first thing our couples counselors will help you do is get to the source of the actual problem. Whether that problem or hindrance in your relationship is seemingly talking past each other, maybe looking for things to fight about, a breached trust, competing careers or perhaps insecurity about the past or future, a Thriveworks couples counselor can help find the source of that problem. This is often the trickiest part, for without help these are precisely the problems that fall into our blind spots.
The professionals at Thriveworks Marietta do more than just lend a listening ear. As licensed professionals, they will help you determine and diagnose the source of your grief, and then help you craft a practical solution to the problem — one that you and your partner can implement and then grow together through. And we are confident that both you and your relationship will emerge stronger for it. Now, I’m sure that right about now you’re thinking that you’ve heard all this before. And maybe you have. The truth of the matter is that while you have heard all of that before, you still haven’t received the type of help that is actually helpful. Am I right? At Thriveworks, we personalize every encounter with our clients and our entire focus is on helping you identify what you and your spouse are struggling with.
We also strive to understand the intricacies, nuances, and individual aspects of every trial your and your spouse are facing. This is really what makes us unique. We are not simple-minded, passive listeners. Our counselors engage in your problems with you to help you overcome them. In doing so, we focus on what works for you and fully appreciate that, because every relationship is different, every marital problem is equally different. Consequently, that means every marital problem should be given due weight in crafting individualized, healthy solutions to help you not only overcome the problems you might be facing, but also to help you obtain the fulfillment you once assumed your relationship would bring.
Going to a couples counselor doesn’t mean the end of your relationship is impending. Rather, it can signify a new beginning and a strength to overcome—a will to thrive and even grow closer together. That wise counsel you’re seeking is just a phone call away. Let us help you create the healthy, respectful, loving, and flourishing relationship that you both need and want.
The way we see it, if you are ready to move forward, we are ready to be your guide. Now is the time. Call today to schedule and experience the many benefits we offer, including evening and weekend sessions, most major insurances accepted, same-week appointments, and more.
