About Robert

Dr. Robert Egbert is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of clinical experience. He trained in counseling psychology and education and has worked in school and family settings.

He brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and aims to help people facing common, painful life problems. He helps with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and with anxiety, stress, and ADHD-related challenges. He also supports people with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting questions, grief, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and problems with eating or sleep.

Background and approach

Career transitions, caregiver stress, and adjustment after life changes are part of his usual caseload. Dr. Egbert uses a mix of approaches.

He draws on client-centered work to focus on each person’s experience, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and existential ideas to talk about meaning and choice. He also applies elements of emotionally-focused work and the Gottman Method when relationships are central to the concern.

His background includes long experience as a school counselor and family therapist, which shaped his practical approach to communication and conflict. People can expect clear conversation about goals, concrete next steps, and attention to everyday routines that affect mood and functioning. Outside the office he spends time outdoors, travels, and follows radio and writing projects.

He lives with a professional writer and values a steady, down-to-earth rhythm to life and work.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Egbert commonly combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust the plan over time. The process is meant to be flexible so techniques match what the person needs right now.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simple option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and messaging let people send updates or work through brief issues between full sessions. These options make it easier to access steady support while balancing everyday life.
