About Melba
Melba (Fran) Roberts is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on grief and life-limiting illness alongside other common struggles like stress, anxiety, and depression. She approaches counseling with compassion, humility, and respect. Sessions are meant to let people name their pain and move forward at their own pace.
Roberts earned a Master of Arts in Counseling and Human Services from the University of Colorado. She spent nine years working at Pikes Peak Hospice as a grief counselor, supporting people through loss related to illness and end-of-life issues. That hands-on experience shapes how she hears and responds to sorrow and major life changes.
Her work centers on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, emotionally focused work, and Jungian perspectives when they fit the situation. Those approaches are used to help people cope, rebuild routines, and find clearer meaning after loss.
In practical terms she helps people manage grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, feelings of isolation, guilt and shame, and challenges to self-esteem. She also supports those facing cancer, hospice concerns, and end-of-life decisions. Conversations tend to be straightforward and paced to each person’s comfort.
