More about Robert
- 30 years' experience
- Male
- LMHC
I am an older counselor/therapist with over 30 years of experience and have worked with a variety of issues over those years. I hold a PH.D. in Counseling Psychology from the Union Institute and an ED.D. from Temple University. I have been a school counselor and family therapist for many of those years so am comfortable working with all ages. Some of those issue include depression, anxiety, ADHD and other learning and behavior disorders, career decisions, conflict, enhancing relationships, how to communicate, parenting, and a variety of other issues such as eating disorders. I am an eclectic therapist using those techniques that work, including CBT, the family therapies, and some existential therapy.
I am married with three grown children and love the outdoors, travel and anything radio. I live with a professional writer with several books and many articles in publication.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
