About Robert
Robert Nijjar is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people work through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and the practical strain of life changes.

Robert centers sessions on building acceptance and understanding. He uses straightforward conversation to identify current habits that cause harm and to develop healthier alternatives.
How Robert works
Practical steps and small goals are emphasized so progress feels manageable. He draws on approaches that encourage awareness and values-guided action. Mindfulness skills are used to help notice difficult thoughts and sensations without being driven by them.
Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change addictive or stuck behavior by finding personal reasons to move forward. Niching beyond those areas, he also supports people facing parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns, and social anxiety.
Communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, mood disorders, sexuality, and phobia are other areas he addresses. Robert aims for practical, achievable work that fits everyday life. He helps people set short steps, build on strengths, and notice progress.
The focus is on usable tools that can be applied between sessions and during stressful moments.

Online support options
Approaches you can try online
Robert uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take action toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are hard. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes where motivation and direction feel unclear.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a conversational space where the person leads the work. The therapist listens closely and reflects back so people can better understand their choices and strengths. Mindfulness Therapy appears in sessions as practical exercises for noticing thoughts and sensations without getting swept away, which helps with anxiety and impulsive responses.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Robert works with each person to test methods and adjust the plan based on goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. He aims to make the process collaborative and flexible rather than prescribing a single path.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer quick access between sessions and let people work through thoughts in shorter, written bursts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
