About Robert

Robert Egbert is a licensed independent social worker based in Ohio who focuses on adult individual and couples work. He brings 13 years of focused practice in individual adult therapy and a long career in social work that began in 1995.

Background and approach

Robert commonly assists people managing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, and life transitions, drawing on practical strategies to help clients build strengths and increase everyday functioning. He favors collaborative planning and evidence-informed techniques, using cognitive behavioral tools alongside client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed approaches.

Robert has experience working alongside psychiatrists and with couples both together and separately when relationship issues arise. He aims to create straightforward, actionable plans and emphasizes helping clients develop self-belief and coping skills rather than worrying about others' opinions.

Because of licensing, he accepts clients who live in Ohio. Sessions are offered through a variety of online formats, and he tailors methods to each person’s goals and situation while relying on clear communication and practical steps toward improvement.

Online approaches that combine structure and empathy

Robert draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and to teach practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. He also integrates client-centered principles, emphasizing attentive listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and can shape goals at their own pace. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationship patterns and emotional bonding are central concerns, helping partners or individuals understand emotional responses and improve connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. He treats approach selection as a collaborative process, exploring a client’s goals, preferences, and experiences and adjusting methods as the work progresses rather than committing to a single method upfront.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access for people who live in Ohio. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for consistent scheduling, and let the therapist and client focus on skill-building and problem solving from wherever the client is located within the state.
