About Robert
Dr. Robert Cipriano Jr uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to help people manage stress, trauma, anxiety, and family concerns. He is Dr.
Robert Cipriano Jr and brings 20 years of experience as a licensed psychologist. He works with people who are coping with grief, relationship strain, addictions, sleep problems, and shifts in life roles. He speaks English and practices from Florida while holding California and North Carolina psychology licenses (CA Psychologist 32975, NC Psychologist 5348).
Background and approach
He has extensive work with first responders and trauma settings. For many years he provided services in a major trauma hospital in northern Miami-Dade County, including work on inpatient behavioral health units and a Trauma-Intensive Care Unit. He has run more than 200 critical incident stress debriefings for staff and supported responders after high-profile incidents such as the Parkland school shooting.
His background includes work inside a large metropolitan police department as an in-house psychologist assigned to a Crisis Negotiation Team. There he assisted with crisis incidents involving hostages, barricaded subjects, and people experiencing severe mental health emergencies. He also developed and supervises a wellness program for public safety personnel in a major city.
In practice he blends structured, skills-based work with trauma-focused interventions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and habits, while Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing addresses distress from traumatic memories. He also provides training and consultation on active shooter dynamics, school violence prevention, and bullying for organizations and agencies.
People choosing him can expect direct, practical strategies and collaborative planning. He offers therapy through a subscription model and arranges sessions based on scheduling needs and location.
Online approaches for trauma and everyday stress
Dr. Cipriano uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical skills like managing worry, improving sleep, and altering patterns that worsen mood or conflict.He also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people dealing with distressing memories. EMDR guides a person through structured recall while using bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He listens to each person’s goals and concerns, explains options, and together they pick methods that fit current needs and preferences. That shared planning helps shape the pace and focus of online work.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. These formats let people attend sessions from home, coordinate around work or family, and use brief messaging between meetings for follow-up and coaching. The range of options supports ongoing progress while accommodating different routines and comfort levels.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
