About Dr. Roberts

---

Dr. Liane Roberts is a licensed clinical psychologist at Affirming Psychological Services in Irvine, California. She provides compassionate, trauma-informed therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, relational challenges, and identity questions. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.

Dr. Roberts began her career in 2015, providing therapy to adults who were court-ordered to treatment. Over time, she found her true calling in supporting youth and families, especially those working to heal from trauma and mood disorders. She earned her Doctorate in Clinical Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2020, completed her predoctoral internship with the Orange County Health Care Agency, and later served as a staff psychologist there for three years.

In her work, Dr. Roberts uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and grounding techniques to help clients manage anxiety, reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and build resilience. She believes therapy works best when clients feel genuinely understood and supported, and she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can move at their own pace.

Dr. Roberts’ philosophy centers on the belief that everyone deserves kindness and compassion both in and outside of therapy. She values honesty, respect, humor, and empathy, helping clients feel comfortable exploring difficult emotions and building the confidence to make meaningful change.

Dr. Roberts offers in-person sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, and telehealth sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays. If you are looking for an experienced and caring psychologist in Orange County, Dr. Roberts is here to help you build confidence, resilience, and self-compassion.
