About Robert

Dr. Robert Cipriano Jr brings two decades of clinical practice to his work and relies primarily on cognitive behavioral therapy while also using EMDR for trauma-related symptoms.

Background and approach

He is identified as Dr. Robert Cipriano Jr and holds psychologist licenses in California and North Carolina as CA Psychologist 32975 and NC Psychologist 5348, and he practices from Florida.

His background includes extensive work with trauma-exposed patients and coordinated interventions in hospital and public safety settings. Over the years he provided psychological services to a Trauma-Intensive Care Unit and inpatient behavioral health units at a major trauma hospital in northern Miami-Dade County and conducted more than 200 critical incident stress debriefings.

He has also served as an in-house staff psychologist with a metropolitan police department’s Crisis Negotiation Team, offering assessments and support during high-stakes incidents. More recently he has incorporated Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into his offerings for clients experiencing trauma-based symptoms.

His professional interests include wellness for public safety personnel, training on active shooter dynamics and school violence prevention, and clinical programs for first responder and law enforcement wellness. He has authored articles on wellness and developed curricula aimed at prevention and intervention across clinical and organizational settings.

Online options using CBT and EMDR-informed care

Dr. Robert Cipriano Jr integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR into his online practice in ways that translate well to remote work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning. EMDR is an approach used for trauma-related symptoms that guides clients through specific processing techniques to reduce distress linked to traumatic memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and clinical needs with each person to determine whether CBT, EMDR, or a combination will best support progress, and adjustments are made over time as goals evolve.

Online delivery includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access across schedules and circumstances. These formats make it possible to receive ongoing support from a licensed professional while accommodating work, family, or geographical limitations.
