About Robert

Robert Egbert is a licensed independent social worker who provides individual adult therapy in Ohio. He focuses on helping people reduce anxiety and depression, manage stress, and navigate relationship and substance-related challenges. He aims for straightforward, practical sessions that help people build confidence and use their strengths.

He brings 13 years focused on individual therapy and a longer background in social work. Much of his work has involved depression, anxiety, and everyday functioning problems.

Background and approach

He has also supported people facing substance misuse alongside mood concerns and relationship strain. In sessions he listens first and helps create a clear plan. He uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to change unhelpful patterns.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address emotional connection in relationships when that is relevant. He has experience working with psychiatrists to coordinate care when medication or medical assessment is part of the picture. His style is direct and strengths-based - helping people notice what works and build on it.

He emphasizes small, doable steps rather than long, abstract programs. Because he holds an Ohio LISW license he only works with people who live in Ohio. Sessions are offered using video, phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on the client’s needs and preferences.

Online support

How his approaches work online

Robert often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy depending on what a person needs. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships and personal reactions so people feel more connected and less reactive. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are, helping them feel heard and supported while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and working through emotional material. Phone sessions can fit a brief check-in or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping care consistent and practical.
