LaDerida Stokes-Roberts

LaDerida Stokes-Roberts is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, career struggles, and ADHD-related challenges. She draws on 15 years of professional experience to guide people through difficult moments. Her tone is encouraging and straightforward, and she aims to make taking the first step feel manageable.

She works from the view that each person knows their own story. Sessions focus on practical strengths and small steps that build confidence over time. Expect clear, goal-minded conversations that connect everyday choices to larger changes.

LaDerida uses methods that break problems into manageable parts. She helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior and try new strategies in daily life. Homework is practical and tied to the client’s real-world goals, like improving work focus or coping with loss.

Her background includes work across issues such as attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, workplace difficulties, and impulsivity. She also supports people navigating family-related stressors and fatherhood issues, and she lists intellectual disability among areas she addresses.

Her approach combines tools for immediate relief with steps toward longer-term goals. Meetings are aimed at clear progress rather than jargon, and she partners with clients to set reachable targets. If you want straightforward help with practical tools, she can guide the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

LaDerida often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on ways to process difficult memories and reduce the day-to-day impact of traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to find methods that fit the person’s needs and daily life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Confirm the available session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful for reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, and keeping consistent appointments while managing work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can work with clients across locations, and this therapist accepts international clients, so be sure to verify scheduling and regional details when you set up a meeting.
