My name is Robert but I go by Chip and I intend to counsel from a non-judgmental yet goal oriented focus. I have extensive experience working with individuals who are facing issues such as depression, love/loss, family issues, abuse, anxiety and other life obstacles. I have experience in various theoretical styles such as psychodynamic, experiential, family dynamics, cognitive behavioral and others and I modify theory and treatment approach to best fit your individual needs. I believe in a holistic approach to self care and include Yoga in my practice toward personal congruence. Thank you and I hope I can assist you with your life's journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I cannot say enough good things about this therapist. He truly listens to my issues and concerns. More importantly, he has created a path that is helping me resolve my challenges in a way I am comfortable with that is true to my personality. He doesn't talk 'at' me but is a terrific sounding board that helps me really hear and understand myself and work out what I really want. 5 stars!

Chip is a therapist almost as if without being a therapist. What i mean by that is i don’t feel a weird stigma or like I’m entering the door to the whole “the doctor will see you now” experience. Each session has felt like a casual conversation one has with their friend at a bar. Obviously in this case Chip is the one encouraging you to do the right and most sensible thing rather than the impulsive. These last 3 sessions have done wonders for my internal and external aspect to my life and i look forward to our future progress.

I've been a member for about a month, after trying other kinds of similar therapy companies. I almost gave up after having unresponsive therapists who insist on video chat over any kind of session. Robert however is kind, patient, honest and almost always available. He respects my choice of chat therapy, and respects my social anxiety issues. One day I may be able to switch to video to get more out of our sessions since I recognize I lose some time with texting but this right now is ideal. I'm never uncomfortable, and I feel confident in our sessions and can be open and honest. I look forward to my sessions, instead of dreading them. Robert is a gem, hold on to this one.
