I am Dr. Robert Spaulding, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia with over 30 years of experience working in the Mental Health Field counseling families, children, and adolescents with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, Depression, Grief, Parenting and trauma. I am Certified as a Master Addiction Counselor (MAC), and also a Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor (CAADC) with experience in Outpatient and Inpatient settings working with clients of all ages with Substance Use, Abuse, and Addiction issues. I have over 39years in Long-term Recovery, and I am very familiar with the 12-Step Models used in multiple programs.
I have a Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Psychology and also provide therapy services using a range of modalities including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused and Reality Therapy for individual, couples, family therapy, and strength-based coaching.
My therapy style is interactive, practical, engaging, empathic, and direct. I believe the key to change in therapy results directly from (HOW) the atmosphere of a therapeutic relationship is initially developed. I believe in creating an atmosphere based on Honesty, Opened-mindedness, Willingness (HOW) with great emphasis on Mutual Respect. This is HOW the journey begins, on the road that leads to pathways of change.
This beginning step is essential and I am here to help you create a map and guide you on a journey towards reaching your goals.
I am looking forward to seeing you!

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.

Very knowledgeable, and empathetic!
Dr. Spaulding has made a big difference in my life through therapy.
Thus far it has only been to sessions within those two I've discovered a lot about my thought process on normalizing it. However with it only being two sessions not much can be done so soon for a review. But from what I can gather so far Dr.Spaulding knows his stuff and articulate in a way where I feel calm and can understand to shed some light. I trust his process, it's a journey if you don't take time to enjoy the journey what are you really getting out of it?
I know I have another session with him. I plan on keep going. Even after this next session because this is actually awesome
Dr. Spaulding is great!!!
Dr. Spaulding has been a great help in my identifying my triggers. He is fun to talk with and seems genuinely interested in my concerns. He’s always on time and straight forward.
Dr Robert offers help from his knowledge, experience, and caring personality. His counseling has been more of advice from a trusted wise counsel .
He is a great therapist. He has a perspective I hadn’t thought of before.
Dr Spaulding is very kind and relatable and is always on time and very prompt and is very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable
My therapist is fantastic!
Dr Robert has been integral in my growth spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. I love the resourcefulness of using BetterHelp to speak and meet with him every week and will continue
Dr. Spaulding has been very helpful in my self growth over the past year and has been keen to provide insight and exercises to help me better grasp triggers of anxiety and build emotional intelligence. It has been a pleasure thus far and look forward to our sessions and discussions about life.
You want real and you want to do the work go to him if not keep it moving
Great guy and therapist.
Dr. Spaulding was such a blessing for me to have as my therapist. I am grateful for him and the conversations we had.
I felt like I had a mentor and friend in him.
Dr Spaulding is good listener, patient and respectful. I appreciate his experience and have gained some insight on things about myself I look forward to continuing this journey.
Dr Spaulding is the reason I am doing better today than I was yesterday. I was lucky enough to have the system match us in 2022. I had tried BetterHelp off and on for 10 years prior but could never find a good match for an individual therapist. Dr Spaulding has helped me navigate through multiple external and internal challenges. He is always patient, understanding, attentive and provides excellent course work to help the healing and growing process. I’m very grateful to have found him on my journey.
I have grown so much in my time with Dr. Spaulding. It’s been a process I have been needing to go through for a long time. Thank you for giving me my freedom back.
An excellent therapist, listens well , helps you help yourself, and very easy to relate to. He definitely has help me tremendously. Thank you, Dr. Spaulding
My first impression of Dr. Spaulding was that he is extremely friendly, outgoing and understanding. I look forward to our sessions.
Even though we have only met once I feel both comfortable and confident in his abilities to help me
Dr Robert is great
I’ve experienced more growth with help from Dr Robert than before. He gives timely, wise, caring advice that gets to the root of the issues.
He isn't one of those "...and how did that make you feel?" kind of therapists. He's interpersonable and I find him interesting to interact with.
Dr Spaulding has a beautiful process and approach in engaging with us from a therapist-to-client relationship. It is not typical, which is what you need if you are looking for a therapist who can be empathetic to your experience, which means, they have been in your shoes vs responding with psychological teachings. He has a wise mind, taking in the emotional and intellectual sides of life and teachings, with enhanced self-awareness. I have completed my 3rd session and have been able to walk away w more insight on “why do I do what I do” with a humbled ego. Thank you Dr Spaulding. Appreciate what you bring to therapy and for patients.
I really appreciate Dr Spaulding. He listens really well and has encouraged me and been real with me on the issues we’ve been addressing. I appreciate him staying in touch and helping to work on my issues and give guidance on how to work through those things.
I had the pleasure of having Dr. Spaulding as my therapist for 16 months. He empowered me to acquire critical skills that will have a lasting impact on my life. I highly recommend his services.
Dr. Spaulding has helped me better manage my time and dealing with the stresses in life in a more productive and positive manner.
He’s the best therapist and always wants to help.
Dr. Spaulding has helped me in so many ways. I have been able to become less angry and depressed. He has also helped me with my anxiety and letting go of the past. I would 100% recommend him to anyone!!
He has done well for me. Very personable and also very professional during our sessions.
Dr. Robert has been great through my whole experience with him and that I expect that it will only continue to improve. I have been learning new skills with him in my life has improved. Dr. Robert is very knowledgeable and always listens and applies and is always very helpful. I greatly appreciate the time that I’m able to spend with him.
Very Professional and Great at listening Giving examples and demonstrations Very Pleased Thank you
I like his way of telling me the truth and not sugar coating and u like that he has been through the same as me
Dr. Spaulding is awesome and very forward, he doesn’t waste any time. He gets right in your face about your issues and tackles them head on with you. I’m grateful for his help. -Niko’a
I've only had one session but it was excellent and I felt a lot better
Dr. Spaulding II is amazing and super helpful.
The man speaks from experience not just from an educated mind although he is highly educated :)
Dr Spaulding is a skilled and compassionate therapist. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve themselves mentally, psychologically and emotionally.
Dr. Spaulding is helping me work through some stressful issues and loss. Good communication, looking forward to more strategies to help deal with stress and grief.
A very good Therapist
Dr. S was great to talk to. It’s said hot to judge a book by its cover, I wasn’t so confident at first meet up…wasn’t sure our ideology would match up but I was quickly reassured he was going to be helpful. Sometimes a different perspective is needed and we both embraced this in our sessions. Dr. S gave me confidence in myself, my thoughts and feelings. Today I have little to no questions on what I needed from therapy. Despite a relatively short relationship with Dr. S, I would recommend him and would want to rematch with his expertise. Thank you Dr. much love and appreciation to you.
Dr. Robert is down to earth and very relatable … would recommend highly
Very easy talk to, focuses on the issues I mentioned..
Pleased so far. It’s nice to have someone help sort out issues
Didn’t really like him too much. Wouldn’t consider him to be a Christian counselor. Didn’t cater to my personal needs or seem to care much about me. Got on the phone in the middle of a session. He does the talking most of the time and seems to go off a set blueprint instead of cater to the individual.
One of the best therapists and men I’ve talked to throughout my entire “counselor” journey. His energy is infectious and his own journey allows him to easily relate, emphasize and guide those of us who need it his insight and guidance!
He keeps it real and doesn’t sugar coat anything. I like his style. Just getting into this but he’s got methods that keep it engaging and real
Thanks
After the first consultation I felt very comfortable with Dr Spaulding. He listens and provides help and instruction when needed and appropriate.
Thank you.
DR. SPAULDING IS VERY PROFESSIONAL YET VERY CARING AND EASY TO TALK TO GREAT JOB!
this is my first time doing any type of therapy, and Dr. Spalding has made it very pleasant. I was probably very tense at the beginning of our first session, but by the end I was more relaxed and comfortable with talking freely. I struggle everyday but what gets me through is knowing I have a therapist who is attuned into my needs & will do whatever it takes to get me & my mental health back where it needs to be. I'm very grateful to have him as my therapist.
Love Doc Spaulding
Dr. Spaulding is a great therapist to have in your corner. I felt from the beginning that he truly cares and has patients best interests at heart. Very kind, non-judgmental, listens and is Very good at giving encouragement. I tried therapy years ago for an isolated incident, and while it was helpful, I never felt the same personal relationship I've had with Dr. Spaulding. He has been a great match for me, has helped me so much, and has been a great cheerleader for my continuing improvement with some of my issues. Highly recommend him, and he has credentials for all kinds of areas of mental health issues. He has truly been a gift to me!
I am learning a lot during sessions. I look forward to applying what I've learned.
Dr. Spaulding has been fantastic so far. I have tried therapy before, but Dr. Spaulding has taken me deeper in two sessions to address the root cause of my anxiety than my other therapist did in 15 sessions. I am so glad that I got matched with him. I appreciate all that he has already done, and I look forward to our continued work together.
Dr. Spaulding is a kind and a caring person who listens and is always willing to give information for your healing and coping skills.
Dr. Spaulding is very easy to speak with. He’s very personably and has insights that are very helpful.
Caring, compassionate therapist that listens and responds to all of my issues and concerns. My month of therapy with Dr. Spaulding has been a big help and I can’t wait to continue and see where this road to recovery takes me. Highly recommend to Dr. Spaulding to anyone looking for help.
Dr Spaulding is a phenomenal therapist who puts his own twist on challenging and presenting different methodologies. He is constantly checking in and encouraging you throughout the week in addition to the sessions. He cares so much about your success and keeps you accountable on the things you need to work on. He truly has changed my life and the way i approach and handle situations.
Wonderful Therapist, very knowledgeable and helpful.
Dr. Spaulding is great. He listened actively to my concerns and made suggestions and gVe me homework. He made me feel normal and had me think differently about the concerns I had for myself. The road blocks I have can be worked through and that's wonderful for me.
Thanks Dr. Spaulding for being a great therapist and listening to me.
This man is a blessing.
Wow - where do I begin? Dr. Spaulding has been a MIRACLE worker. I cannot recommend him enough. He is so relatable and makes you feel at ease during every session. He has hyped me up so much as I've done the worksheets, as well as, gives me so many wonderful analogies and insights as to "why I think the way I think." The worksheets he has recommended have been LIFE changing, and I cannot thank him enough for all the positive change he has brought into my life. I always knew it was there, but he helped me tap into it.
Though I've only just begun this journey, I have a lot of respect for Dr. Spaulding and his rich experience and professional credentials. I also like the fact that he comes from a different background and upbringing from myself because this, too, adds a layer of perspective which I find beneficial to the sessions. He is patient and kind, and he is clearly passionate about helping others, so I feel lucky to have been matched with him.
He’s very helpful with specific issues. I appreciate his enthusiasm for life. He’s really great at what he does. So thankful that I got connected with him.
Dr. Spaulding is a good counselor who responds to my texts immensely and my concerns . Thank You
Dr. Spaulding has truly helped open my eyes to things that were affecting me that I didn’t even realize. I’m putting to practice what he’s teaching me and I would be wrong to say I’m not seeing change because I am!! I understand that I have to be willing to put in the work but his lessons are impeccable!
