About Robert
Robert Burke is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio. He brings 30 years of practice to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. He works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy challenges, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and self-esteem problems.
Robert uses a collaborative approach. He partners with each person to set goals and decides together which methods to use.
How Robert works
Sessions aim for clear, practical steps alongside space to process emotions. He also provides coaching for career and life-purpose questions. His background includes work in community settings, hospitals, dialysis units, and rehab facilities.
That variety shaped his comfort with medical and end-of-life topics like hospice and caregiver stress. He also brings experience with attachment issues, personality concerns, impulsivity, and social anxiety. In the room, Robert draws on several therapy styles to match what a person needs.
He may focus on what someone is feeling in the moment, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, or teach skills for managing intense emotions. The goal is to build practical tools and greater emotional understanding. Sessions are offered in English from Ohio and are provided through online formats such as video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people to the right session rhythm.

Online support options
How Robert’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely and follows what the person brings, helping them clarify goals and make choices that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, including techniques for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Robert collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift, and sessions focus on what is most useful in everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different routines and needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face from another location, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick updates or written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and health appointments while keeping the focus on practical skills and emotional work.
