About Robert
Robert Egbert is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio who offers one-on-one therapy for adults. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
He listens closely and works with clients to set clear, realistic goals. Robert uses straightforward planning and tools to solve problems.
He combines client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness so people can change difficult habits and feel more in control. He also draws on Gottman Method ideas when addressing relationship patterns and communication skills.
Before focusing on individual adult therapy in 2011, he worked as a social worker starting in 1995. Over the last 13 years he has supported people facing mood disorders, trauma, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and substance use issues.
He has teamed with psychiatrists when medication or coordinated care was helpful. In sessions he emphasizes small, manageable steps.
He helps people build on strengths, reduce self-criticism, and tackle problems like sleep disruption, anger, or career stress. Practical skills are paired with space to talk and be heard.
He only works with clients who currently live in Ohio because of licensing rules. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then sessions are scheduled according to availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Robert often blends the Gottman Method ideas, client-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) when meeting with clients. Gottman-informed work focuses on improving communication and managing recurring relationship patterns through practical exercises. Client-centered therapy centers on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to use techniques that match the issue at hand and the client’s day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video sessions let people practice communication skills and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers writing. These options make scheduling and attending sessions more flexible for people with busy routines.
