About Robert

Robert Egbert is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio who focuses on adult therapy. He helps people who feel overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. He also supports people managing relationship strain and concerns related to substance use and ADHD.

He prefers to start with a clear plan and practical steps. He listens first, then helps clients set goals that are realistic. Sessions emphasize building strengths and learning skills that can be used between appointments.

Background and approach

Robert has worked as a social worker since 1995 and has provided individual adult therapy since 2011. Over the years he has collaborated with psychiatrists and other providers when medication or coordinated care was helpful. That background gives him experience with a wide range of mood and behavior issues.

His work draws on several familiar approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods are used to help people change thinking patterns, increase motivation, and feel heard. He also uses emotionally focused techniques when relationship patterns are a core concern.

Sessions are offered in several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule. Robert aims for straightforward conversations that lead to clear steps and measurable progress. He focuses on helping people believe in themselves and build routines that support better daily functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaborating with the client. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects understanding, and helps identify practical goals; this approach helps when someone needs space to talk things through and build confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. Sessions use clear steps and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood concerns.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to use video. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when writing thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working based on what helps most.
