About Robert
Robert Skuy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma with over a decade of experience. He has a background in child welfare, adult protection services, and supporting adults with developmental disabilities. His approach is warm and nonjudgmental and he adapts his style to each person's needs.
He spent many years as a teacher and supporting developmentally disabled adults, which shaped his practical, straightforward way of meeting people where they are.
How Robert works
He has provided care in state systems including Adult Protection Services and Child Welfare, and has supported people coping with depression, anxiety, and trauma. His sessions aim to be calm and focused. He listens first, then offers tools and steps people can try between meetings.
He prefers plain language and avoids labels that feel limiting. Robert uses a mix of approaches based on what someone needs. He draws on cognitive techniques to address unhelpful thoughts, skills from dialectical behavior work to manage strong emotions, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma processing is helpful.
Mindfulness practices are also part of his toolbox. He does not provide Christian or spiritually based therapy that includes Bible study or prayer. He encourages straightforward conversation about goals and expectations and works with each person to build a practical plan for change.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique concerns. It is about building trust, reflecting what someone says, and helping them set goals that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them; it can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories through guided attention and structured phases; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and intense traumatic memories.Figuring out the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about options, test what feels helpful, and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences. This collaboration helps make sure exercises and sessions fit daily life and produce manageable steps forward.
Online therapy brings flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coping strategies, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel.
