Roberta McDonald, LMSW, is a licensed master social worker at One Alkaline Life, a telehealth mental health practice based in Waldorf, Maryland. A proud Navy veteran, Roberta brings a deep sense of empathy and commitment to her virtual counseling sessions, drawing from both her professional training and personal experience.

Roberta earned her bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of North Carolina Wilmington following her honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy. She went on to complete her Master of Social Work at Texas State University and obtained her professional license in the state of Texas.

With a diverse background in the mental health field, Roberta has worked with a wide range of populations, including children in protective services, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, veterans, and those in inpatient treatment settings. Her firsthand experience as a veteran gives her a unique ability to support military service members and their families through challenges such as isolation, trauma, and substance use.

Roberta uses a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to foster personal growth, emotional regulation, and positive life changes. She believes therapy should empower clients to take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
