About Nakia

Nakia Roberson is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With 14 years of clinical experience, she centers her work on the strengths each person brings and treats clients as the experts in their own stories. Nakia emphasizes collaborative change, offering practical strategies alongside encouragement for clients trying to build greater confidence, motivation, and emotional balance.

She leads a group practice called Next Stage Counseling & Wellness in Texas and shares mental health and relationship insights through the practice's online presence. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance-based and emotion-focused methods to address stress, anxiety, grief, anger, career questions, and a range of relationship and family concerns.

Nakia aims to support and empower people as they take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life, helping them translate new awareness into sustainable day-to-day changes.

Evidence-informed approaches for online relationship and life work

CBT offers focused, skills-based techniques to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and practical problem solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward a meaningful life, useful for coping with life changes and persistent emotional pain. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the pace and content of work, supporting self-discovery and confidence.

Deciding which approach or blend of approaches fits best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time to match progress and shifting needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote options. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own location, choose the interaction style that feels most comfortable, and maintain consistent contact while fitting therapy into everyday life.
