Lexi Roberts adopts a person-centered approach that incorporates mindfulness and creativity to enhance the counseling experience, viewing therapy as a collaborative effort where the client decides what to work on. Her credentials include a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Webster University in 2015 and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University in 2019. She became a Licensed Professional Counselor in SC in 2020 and completed EMDR Basic Training with the EMDR Institute in 2021. The practice specializes in EMDR therapy, a method used to alleviate distressing or traumatic memories by reprocessing them so they are stored in long-term memory with lessened emotional reactivity, helping individuals gain new insights into how those memories influenced their interactions and self-beliefs.

A distinct offering at Authentic Insights Counseling is neurodiversity-affirming autism evaluations for adults and older teens. These evaluations focus on strengths and self-understanding rather than simply assigning labels. The process utilizes the MIGDAS-2, a conversational and sensory-based interview, along with the SRS-2 questionnaire. This approach explores how autistic traits manifest in daily life through story and self-reflection, highlighting the client's lived experiences, sensory world, and ways of thinking to build greater self-compassion.

The practice is located at 1300 E. Washington St, Ste. I, in Greenville. It holds a perfect 5.00 rating based on two customer reviews.
