More about Robert

20 years' experience
Male
LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Mississippi with over 20 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients from a broad range of concerns including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, family dynamic distresses, poor communication styles, racial discrimination in the work place, and emotional abuse. Furthermore, I have worked in the medical field work and mental health for over 18 years assisting individuals with Cancer and families connect with local community agencies who aide with homelessness, domestic violence, suicide prevention, and substance use.

My counseling style is very empathetic, mindful and client-centered, yet direct and straightforward. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity but most importantly I pride myself on demonstrating compassion for all and being sensitive to the needs of others.

It takes a great deal of courage to seek professional help and even more courage to implement change. However, if you are ready to take the next steps to begin living a more fulfilling and self-empowered lifestyle, I’d love to help guide you along the way.

I look forward to working with you.

Best regards!

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Robert is an amazing counselor who is honest, and encouraging.

Robert listens and offers thoughtful replies. I have always been skeptical and a little frightened of therapy and approached my first sessions with trepidation. Robert alleviated my fears and I feel quite hopeful moving forward with the sessions.

Excellent therapist

He’s very understanding house me get through my emotional issues give me advice and different scenarios

Robert is a gifted therapist who is vulnerable and open about his own experiences, which give me the freedom to be open about my feelings and struggles. His approach gives me trust in his advice and helps me see that path to healing.

Really relatable and easy to talk to available on weekends.

Robert Lock has been great. He is empathetic, a great listener, and confident without being arrogant. I could not have asked for a better therapist.

Robert is very easy to talk to and I appreciate him talking about his own experiences so I truly know that he understands and his logical thinking. All of it is appreciated. I haven’t had Robert as a counselor for long but I’m very happy with the direction I’m headed in now.
