About Robert
Dr. Robert Egbert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three decades of experience. He combines practical skills and a calm, straightforward approach to help people manage stress, sleep problems, depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns. He is based in Washington and works in English.
Dr. Egbert studied counseling deeply, holding a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and an Ed.D. in education. He spent many years as a school counselor and family therapist, so he is used to talking with people about parenting, communication, and behavior challenges. He also addresses issues such as ADHD, eating concerns, addiction, trauma, grief, and career transitions.
His style is eclectic and down-to-earth. He draws on client-centered methods to listen and build rapport, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and elements of existential and family approaches when they fit the situation. The goal is to use techniques that actually help a person move forward.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, usable steps - small changes that add up over time. He helps people work through relationship and intimacy problems, manage anger, and cope with life changes like divorce or caregiving strain. Sleep and rest issues are included among the areas he addresses.
Outside of practice he enjoys the outdoors, travel, and radio. He is married and has three grown children, and lives with a professional writer whose work includes several books and many articles.
How these approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person's lead and offers support to clarify goals and feelings, which can help with anxiety, relationship strain, and sleep difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for stress, depression, insomnia, and coping with ADHD or addiction. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional bonds and patterns in relationships, helping people improve communication and intimacy when those areas are a concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that seem helpful. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The practical advantage of online therapy is that it can fit more easily into busy lives, allowing therapy to happen without long travel times and making scheduling more flexible. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, thought records, and relational work to an online setting so clients can practice skills between sessions and track sleep, mood, or routines in everyday life.
