About Robert

Dr. Robert Egbert is a licensed mental health counselor with three decades of practice. He combines years of hands-on experience with a straightforward, calm presence to help people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and other common struggles. He introduces himself simply and listens before suggesting steps forward.

Over 30 years, Dr. Egbert has worked in schools and family settings and has supported people across the lifespan. He holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and an Ed.D., and he draws on that background when mapping out care. He uses familiar, practical tools rather than jargon.

His style is adaptable and down-to-earth. He often begins by clarifying what matters most to the person in front of him, then chooses methods that match those goals. Sessions tend to focus on useful skills, clearer communication, and realistic next steps.

Common topics he addresses include depression, anxiety, attention and learning concerns, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy problems, parenting challenges, and life transitions. He also helps with eating and sleeping concerns, career decisions, and coping with stress or trauma.

Outside the office he enjoys the outdoors, travel, and radio. He lives with a professional writer and brings a steady, conversational tone to sessions. People looking for a seasoned clinician who favors practical, tailored work may find his approach helpful.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How his methods translate to online work

Dr. Egbert uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on the person's own goals and pace and focuses on listening and reflection to build understanding. That approach helps when someone wants a space to talk through feelings like depression or relationship stress.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches tools to manage mood, sleep, or anxiety. CBT is useful for people wanting concrete exercises and short-term strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs shift.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Therapists can also use video or phone to support communication skills practice and CBT exercises, depending on what the client and clinician agree will work best.
