How Robert works
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when stronger emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing also appear in sessions to help people build awareness and find their own reasons for change. Treatment plans are shaped around the person's goals, whether that means managing sleep and eating concerns, handling grief, or addressing substance use and compulsive behaviors.
Over thirty years he has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. Communication problems are a common focus, and he works on concrete ways to improve how people talk and listen in strained relationships. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Robert offers guidance, teaches skills, and helps clients practice them between meetings. He aims for steady progress so clients can return to everyday life feeling more able and balanced.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on skills and change
Robert often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that cause distress and to practice new ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and many everyday problems.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can help when strong emotions lead to conflict or impulsive behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robert will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. He listens to preferences and adjusts the plan as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines. Video lets people maintain face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera helps. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping a steady rhythm of sessions.
