More about Robert

  • 20 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

Oh, hey there! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Robb and I have 20 years of helping people transform into their best selves.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. However, I do have a 10/3 rule: I give you 10 minutes after the session starts (unless you message me in advance that you will be late) and then I will have to consider this a missed session and after 3 missed appointments in a row, I will no longer be able to work with you. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation regarding this matter. My approach is informed by my faith in Jesus and that Christ is the healer. For more on my understanding of this, please refer to this video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2u_1H9ZN3AE My main area of focus and interest is in identity (knowing and loving who you truly are). Although I was trained in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (a form of CBT), I have found that our pain is a spiritual one and therefore requires a spiritual answer. I also help people in finding their true identity (who you are, not what you do).

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with 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.

Robert is incredibly gifted and thoughtful. He had an incredible impact on me in just one visit. I was hoping for Christian based therapy and this was above and beyond. Knowing that he prays for his patients/clients is really impactful that he spends that extra time outside of the sessions. He's a real gem and an incredible asset

Kind and gentle in his tender approach. Rob has held space for me in some of my hardest moments. I could not be more grateful that technology allows me to participate in virtual therapy, while being an immunocompromised individual. This talking stuff really helps and it gives me more space to be emotionally available to other loved ones in my life.
