CLR Group Available

CLR Group operates an independent coaching and clinical practice founded by Chesbrough "Chesie" Roberts, MS, ADC, LPC, centered on practical behavioral change, executive guidance, and personal recovery. Based in Mountain Brook, the practice integrates professional life coaching with evidence-backed psychological frameworks, serving adults, professionals, and students facing career impasses, life transitions, or complex personal dependencies. By departing from passive diagnostic review, the practice structures consultations around direct objective-setting, helping clients recognize existing capabilities rather than dwelling exclusively on past difficulties.

At the foundation of Roberts' method are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, paired with forward-facing goal creation. A signature framework within the life coaching track involves the Miracle Question, a focused inquiry technique designed to untangle daily operational stress and isolate an individual’s ideal career and lifestyle outcomes. For professionals and students navigating organizational stress or relational strain, sessions emphasize small, iterative tactical shifts that redirect broader personal trajectories. Addiction counseling and substance use recovery programs run concurrently, adopting a modern outpatient concierge structure tailored to an individual’s personal accountability and daily responsibilities.

Discretion and accessibility dictate how services are structured at the Cahaba Road office. CLR Group maintains standard 50-to-60-minute blocks for individual, couples, and family meetings, supplemented by remote telehealth and home-call appointments when clinical needs dictate. To protect confidentiality—a primary consideration for community figures and working executives—the suite incorporates an optional private rear entrance for extended evening and weekend consultations. Each phase of engagement begins with an intake checkpoint assessing behavioral patterns, communication styles, and support networks before mapping tangible milestones for the weeks ahead.

Prospective clients preparing for an initial consultation should review their existing coverage, as the practice is an in-network provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield while offering direct-pay concierge options for expanded privacy. Scheduling typically requires advance coordination of several business days, with weekend or early morning slots requiring specific logistical clearance. Intake sessions run most effectively when incoming clients come prepared with a concise outline of current professional or personal hurdles, allowing the opening sixty-minute evaluation to move directly into constructive milestone planning.
