About Robert

He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma.

He often works with social anxiety, phobias, and post-traumatic stress, and addresses attachment and mood-related concerns.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work
Two evidence-based approaches commonly used to address anxiety, trauma, and mood difficulties are cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused techniques. Cognitive behavioral strategies help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Trauma-focused techniques focus on processing upsetting memories and reducing their impact on daily functioning so people can feel more in control.Another useful approach is skills-based work for stress and workplace strain that teaches pacing, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. These skills help with day-to-day demands like managing reactions at work, responding to parenting stress, or coping with first responder challenges.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, let sessions fit into a lunch break or evening, and allow consistent contact when life is busy. Different approaches can be adapted for remote sessions, and the therapist will help choose what fits a person’s needs and daily routine.
