About Robert Trombetta
Robert Trombetta is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who brings a decade of clinical experience and a Master of Arts from Drexel University’s College of Nursing and Health Professions, earned in 2004. He has worked across inpatient psychiatry, community residential services and private practice, founding his own practice in 2010, and has supported people facing overlapping challenges such as severe mood disorders, substance use, personality disorders and thought disorders including schizophrenia.
In private practice he has focused on adolescents and young adults on the autism spectrum as well as clients coping with depression, anxiety, addictive behaviors and conflicts in family, relationship and career realms. His work often addresses issues of attachment, codependency, identity and the complicated emotions that follow divorce, grief or trauma. He emphasizes the real difficulty of change while honoring the knowledge and resilience clients already bring to the therapeutic process.
Trombetta’s orientation is essentially humanistic - attentive listening and reflective communication guide goal-setting that the client defines. He integrates techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, narrative work and expressive methods when appropriate, and makes use of creative practices such as writing or art to deepen insight and emotional processing. Therapy is framed as a collaborative effort, with the therapist acting as a compassionate guide who helps illuminate paths forward while keeping an attitude of warmth, respect and, when helpful, lightness and humor.
Please note that at present he is not offering video sessions via the video option on the platform and is temporarily limiting live-session modalities to phone, chat and messaging; he may resume video work in the future.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's priorities and helps clarify personal goals while offering support for growth and self-understanding. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, identity questions and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and testing practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly helpful for anxiety, depression, anger and coping with stressful situations.
