Robert is doing great. Sometimes, I wonder if he should be harder on me but I'm not sure if that's what I or anyone else really needs from their therapist. Either way, he's been a big help!
More about Robert
- 10 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As a LCSW I am licensed to provide family and individual therapy. I have been a licensed therapist for 7 years. Some of my previous jobs have been teacher, working with developmentally disabled adults for 15 yeas. I also have worked for the State of Oklahoma in Adult Protection Services, Developmental Disabilities and Child Welfare. I have worked with individuals and families who have been involved with Child Welfare investigations. Some of my experiences have been working with individuals with depression, anxiety, emotional and physical abuse, relationship issues.
My style is warm and non judgmental. I feel labels limit us but my treatment style can be adjusted to your individual needs. I have used Cognitive Behavioral, EMDR, DBT and even Play therapy and yes even adults can benefit from this. I attend trainings and even at my age I enjoy learning new treatment types. I have enjoyed recently learning about Mindfulness. Mindfulness is as old as the hills. This philosophy or life style has lead me to be more productive recently.
I know how difficult it is to reach out for help. By reaching out you are now prepared to work on the issues which are preventing you from enjoying a more rewarding life. Sometimes you feel better just to have someone who will listen to you without judgement and offer occasional advice to help you deal with conflicts.
Now you have reached out I look forward to help develop an individual treatment plan and working with you to overcome the problems that have caused you to reach out.
*** Please note I do not provide Christian based therapy and I do not identify as Christian in my spiritual beliefs. I do not provide Christian or spiritual based services that include Bible wisdom and prayer.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Robert is doing great. Sometimes, I wonder if he should be harder on me but I'm not sure if that's what I or anyone else really needs from their therapist. Either way, he's been a big help!
Robert has been knowledgeable, helpful, and, above all, supportive through several years of challenges in my career and family life. I am grateful to BetterHelp for linking me to him, and believe that everyone could benefit from his patience, experience, and supportive way of communicating and working through difficult matters in life.
So far so good just want to keep progressing and working on myself. My goal is to be a healed man from my past childhood trauma and just traumas in general getting over my survival instincts and relying on controlling my behavior in more heavier ways
Very good at listening and easy to talk to, had ideas quick for how to fix what I was going through, amazing therapist I would 100% recommend
