About Robert
Robert Gamboa is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship struggles. He keeps sessions straightforward and practical so worried parents can quickly see whether therapy might help their family. Robert uses everyday language and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
He draws on client-centered therapy to follow the family’s priorities and motivational interviewing to help people find reasons and motivation to change.
Background and approach
He also uses solution-focused methods to set clear, small goals and track progress. These approaches are practical and short-term focused when that fits the need. Robert has five years of clinical experience working with issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy-related problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
He also addresses related concerns like communication problems, control issues, fatherhood issues, and co-morbidity. He brings attention to multicultural concerns and the effects of isolation or shame. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
He is licensed in Georgia - LPC, license number GA LPC LPC016358. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. For parents who want a direct, respectful approach, Robert focuses on clear steps and real-life strategies.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. He aims to work with each person to find useful next steps.
How his approaches shape online family and parenting support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and helps them explore choices without judgment. This approach helps parents and individuals feel heard and clearer about next steps.Motivational interviewing is a short-term method for building internal motivation. It uses questions and reflective listening to help someone weigh the pros and cons of change. This can be useful for parenting routines, substance use concerns, or other behaviors someone wants to shift.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps. Sessions identify specific, achievable goals and track progress over time. This helps families and individuals move toward practical improvements without getting stuck on past problems.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That agreement is revisited as things change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people talk face to face from home, phone sessions fit when screens are not an option, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins between sessions. These options make ongoing support easier to schedule and maintain while still focusing on the goals identified together.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
