About Robert
Robert Egbert is a licensed independent social worker who offers practical, down-to-earth support for adults in Ohio. He focuses on common problems like anxiety, depression, stress, and issues tied to substance use. He listens closely, helps people build on strengths, and works with clients to make clear, manageable plans for change.
He has been a social worker since 1995 and has provided focused individual therapy since 2011. Over the years he has supported many people facing mood and functioning challenges, often alongside substance-related problems.
Background and approach
He has also worked with couples on relationship concerns, both together and in separate sessions. Clinically, he draws on several established methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - and motivational interviewing. He also integrates trauma-informed ideas and emotion-focused work when helpful.
These approaches guide practical steps in sessions, such as identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new interactions, and setting small goals. Robert holds an LISW, which is his licensed independent social worker credential in Ohio. He collaborates with psychiatrists when medication or coordinated care is needed.
His practice operates under Ohio licensure, so he sees only clients who live in that state. His style is straightforward and solution-minded. Sessions tend to focus on what is working, what needs to change, and clear actions clients can try between meetings.
He aims to help people feel more capable and less stuck.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Robert commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - and Client-Centered Therapy. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and building trust so clients can explore what matters most to them and find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these methods to guide skill practice, check in on goals, and adapt strategies based on what the client finds helpful.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
