Approaches That Guide Online Care

Robert uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist supports their intrinsic strengths - an approach that is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult habits. In addition, Mindfulness Therapy is integrated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and stress management skills, which can support emotional regulation and reduce rumination.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Robert collaborates with each client to determine what fits best. He tailors methods based on a person s needs, goals, and preferences, blending strategies as appropriate to create a practical, personalized plan.

Online sessions through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and access from home or work. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, fit therapy into a busy life, and receive ongoing support between in-person visits when needed.
