About Robert
Dr. Robert Egbert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 30 years of experience. He practices in Washington and offers therapy in English.
He brings a calm, straightforward approach aimed at helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and other challenges. He trained in counseling psychology and education and has worked in school counseling and family therapy settings. That background means he is used to helping people with parenting, communication, learning and behavior concerns, and career decisions.
How Robert works
He also addresses issues like ADHD, eating and sleep problems, addiction, grief, trauma, anger, and coping with life changes. In sessions he uses a mix of practical methods, drawing on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, existential thinking, and elements of the Gottman Method. The focus is on real problems and clear steps people can try between meetings.
He listens first, then helps clients identify patterns and small changes that make daily life easier. He aims to help people improve communication, set boundaries, and rebuild trust after conflict or loss. For parents he offers strategies to reduce household stress and manage behavior challenges.
For people facing major transitions, he helps sort priorities and find workable routines. Outside of practice he enjoys the outdoors and travel, and has a long interest in radio and writing. His years of varied work give him a broad perspective on common life struggles and practical ways to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered work focuses on the person in the room, helping them feel heard and guiding conversations around their goals. This approach is useful for people dealing with relationship stress, low self-esteem, or life transitions because it centers what matters most to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and managing attention or addictive patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and how they shape close relationships. It is commonly used to help people improve communication, resolve recurring conflicts, and rebuild emotional connection.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit your needs. That collaboration lets the plan change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues for relationship work and nuanced conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging provide quick access for brief check-ins, homework review, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit into work, school, or family routines.
