About Robert
Rev. Robert Hotes is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Indiana who helps people facing grief, career transitions, and major life changes. He supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, and bipolar disorder.
He also addresses caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, multicultural issues, and experiences of prejudice or discrimination. He uses a coaching-minded approach to work with clients on practical steps and goals.
How Robert works
Sessions focus on clear conversation about what’s happening now and what the client wants to change. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space so people can say what they think and feel. Robert draws on two decades of experience in mental health work.
He emphasizes straightforward talk and small, manageable changes rather than complicated techniques. He encourages clients to try things between sessions and to review what does and doesn’t help. He welcomes international clients and offers sessions in English.
Appointments can be held as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or through text-based messaging. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
After that step, scheduling is done according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Robert favors practical, evidence-informed techniques that focus on goals and real-life changes. One common approach is coaching-oriented work which breaks larger problems into small, manageable steps and uses regular check-ins to track progress; this is helpful for career moves, life transitions, and improving routines like sleep or exercise. Another approach emphasizes supportive talk therapy designed to process grief, compassion fatigue, and experiences of discrimination by creating a steady, respectful space to name and work through feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about a person’s goals, day-to-day life, and what methods have or haven’t helped before. Then he and the client will decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is reviewed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone works with lower bandwidth or when movement is needed, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
