About Robert
Robert Egbert is an independently licensed social worker in Ohio who offers individual therapy for adults. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or addictive behavior. His style is straightforward and practical, and he aims to help people make steady changes they can keep.
He brings 13 years of focused experience in individual adult therapy and a long background in social work that began in 1995.
How Robert works
Much of his practice has addressed mood concerns, coping with life changes, sleep problems, and relationship stress. Substance misuse and co-occurring mental health concerns are also common topics he helps people sort out. Robert uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
That can include client-centered work that follows a person's lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and mindfulness practices to build calm and attention. He also draws on emotionally-focused and relationship methods when relationship concerns are central. In sessions he aims to listen carefully, build on strengths, and create clear plans that lead to measurable progress.
He has experience coordinating care with psychiatrists when medication or specialist input is part of a plan. Robert only provides services to people who live in Ohio because of licensing rules. People who prefer practical steps, honest feedback, and a steady, respectful therapist may find his approach helpful.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles.

How his approaches work online
Robert blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address mood, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Client-centered work focuses on the person's goals and priorities, encouraging self-direction and practical problem solving. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching skills to reduce worry, manage mood swings, and change unhelpful habits.He may also use emotionally-focused and mindfulness techniques when relationship strain or persistent distress is a main concern. Emotionally-focused methods help people name feelings and shift interaction patterns, while mindfulness teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process rather than a fixed choice; the therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different routines. Video is useful for full face-to-face conversation, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping consistent therapeutic work.
