Hello, I am Robert and I have been a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas since 2020. Over the course of my career, I have worked in jails, behavioral health hospitals, and private clinics. My goal as a therapist is to empower my clients by showing them how to utilize coping skills and techniques that they will learn over the course of treatment.What I want the clients to take away from sessions with me is that they have a therapist who is an advocate for their well-being, and who will show them the skills to control the symptoms they are experiencing. The goal for my clients is to teach the skills and techniques that they can use over the course of their lifetime after they feel they are finished with therapy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The client can expect to build a foundation of coping through the use of cognitive behavioral techniques starting with the first session.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I like to take a cognitive behavioral approach with clients where we learn to implement techniques and coping skills to restructure thoughts that factor both emotions and rationality. My approach is multi modal, and tailored to my clients needs. In treatment, I have used techniques from dialectical, behavioral therapy, narrative, therapy, cognitive, behavioral therapy, and person centered theory.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is helping clients find solutions to the issues that they are facing. I’m an advocate for my clients because I know the struggles of dealing with symptoms that are not being managed or facing problems that seem hopeless. I have experience working with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and trauma.
