About Robert

Robert Johnson uses a practical, skills-based approach to therapy rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He emphasizes actionable tools and clear steps so people can handle stress and anxiety more effectively. He communicates in plain language and aims to make sessions straightforward for a busy parent or caregiver.

Robert brings 12 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker. He holds the LCSW credential - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and is licensed in Florida as FL LCSW SW19932 while practicing in Ohio.

Background and approach

He focuses on common concerns like depression, grief, parenting challenges, sleep and eating issues, and problems with anger and self-esteem. Sessions with Robert typically involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. He works with clients on coping skills for addiction, managing career stress, and handling life transitions.

He also addresses trauma, compassion fatigue, bipolar symptoms, and issues relevant to LGBT and veteran communities. Robert aims to create a calm, direct space where people can talk through what’s hard and try new strategies between sessions. He encourages clients to use concrete exercises and homework to see what helps in daily life.

The goal is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their routine. Communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible for busy families.

Online CBT and practical skills for everyday challenges

Robert uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so small experiments can show what works. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and many stress-related concerns.

Therapy is collaborative. The therapist will help figure out which techniques fit each person's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on thought work, behavioral practice, problem-solving, or a mix of strategies based on what the client needs.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats let people attend from home, manage sessions around parenting or work, and use brief messages between sessions when useful. The aim is practical care that fits into a busy life and supports steady progress.

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.
