About Roberta
Roberta Gomes welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn out by life’s challenges. She focuses on helping individuals manage anxiety, stress, addiction concerns, relationship and family difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and sleep problems. Roberta also supports people coping with trauma, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and are based in Australia.
Roberta uses a client-centred, collaborative style. She listens to what matters most and works with each person to set practical goals. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
In sessions Roberta focuses on skills people can use between meetings. That might include grounding exercises for intense moments, strategies to manage sleep and mood, or step-by-step plans for cutting back on harmful habits. She aims to make ideas clear and simple so they fit into real life.
Roberta has three years of professional experience and holds PACFA, which is noted as her credential. She frames therapy as a process where small changes build over time and encourages people to move at a pace that feels safe for them.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Roberta uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as key tools in her practice. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are difficult. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing practical changes to reduce distress.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy ideas, which emphasise a respectful, non-judgemental listening style where the person sets the pace and focus. Together, these approaches give a mix of skills practice, values work and empathetic listening to suit a range of concerns such as anxiety, sleep problems, mood fluctuation and codependency-related patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roberta will discuss options and tailor sessions to the person’s needs, goals and preferences so the plan feels useful and realistic. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, support shorter check-ins, or allow someone to choose audio only if that feels easier than being on camera. Ask about formats when you schedule so sessions match practical needs and daily routines.
