About Robert
Robert Abercrombie is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin who helps clients navigate a range of concerns such as career challenges, stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
With a focus on practical strategies, he draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside other evidence-informed methods to help people identify patterns that maintain distress and build skills to move forward. He frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert on their own experience and the therapist offers structure, guidance, and tools.
Robert blends approaches such as CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, alternating between supportive exploration and targeted skill building. His style balances compassion with direction, aiming to help clients clarify goals, practice new ways of thinking and behaving, and take manageable steps toward change.
Robert communicates in English and works through online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He encourages people facing a wide range of life and relational challenges to consider whether a practical, skills-oriented approach could fit their goals.
Skill-Based Approaches for Online Support
Robert commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as part of online work. CBT emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real evidence, then practicing new behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will work with clients to consider goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, then adapt techniques from CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused work as needed. The emphasis is on experimenting together to determine which tools help a person make measurable progress.
Offering therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue work between meetings. These online options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to access licensed professionals from wherever they are in Wisconsin, supporting consistent practice of skills and steady progress toward therapy goals.
