About Robert
He brings decades of experience working with co-occurring mental health and chemical health challenges. That work included residential, home-based, and intensive outpatient settings, and involved both group and individual support. This background informs how he approaches complex or overlapping issues.
In sessions he leans on approaches that emphasize present-moment awareness and practical skill building. He blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices with a person-centered stance. That means sessions start with what matters to the person and build tools from there.
Robert describes his stance as compassionate and sensitive. He aims to help people recognize unhelpful thinking and daily habits, then practice alternatives that fit real life. He welcomes practical work on coping skills, relapse prevention, sleep habits, parenting challenges, and problems with intimacy or impulse control.
People who choose him can expect a collaborative process that balances emotional understanding with concrete strategies. He encourages curiosity and steady steps toward goals, rather than quick fixes. If you want a direct, experience-informed approach to changing thoughts and everyday habits, he may be a good match.

Using evidence-based approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that match a person’s values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, test those thoughts, and develop different behavioral routines that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, focus, and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust techniques over time. This is a collaborative process where practical skills and personal values guide decisions about which methods to try.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when needed, and use shorter or more focused meetings on skill practice. Many people find that doing mindfulness exercises and CBT-style homework between sessions helps transfer new habits into daily life.
