About Robert
Dr. Robert Egbert is a Washington LMHC with about 30 years of clinical experience. He holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and an Ed.D., and he has worked in school counseling and family therapy settings. He speaks English and accepts international clients.
Robert describes a broad practice that covers depression, anxiety, ADHD and other learning and behavior concerns. He also works with relationship and family strains, parenting questions, eating and sleeping problems, grief, addiction, trauma and anger. He lists career decisions, communication and intimacy-related issues among his regular areas of work.
His approach is practical and flexible. He uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and family-focused work. He also draws on emotionally-focused and existential ideas when they fit the problem at hand. The Gottman Method appears among his methods for relationship concerns.
In sessions he helps people talk through communication problems, control issues, codependency and commitment questions. He also addresses abandonment, attachment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress and aging or geriatric issues. He explains that some cases involve co-morbidity where multiple concerns overlap.
Outside therapy he lives in Washington, enjoys the outdoors and travel, and is married with three grown children. His background in schools and family settings means he has long experience working across different life stages and practical life problems.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping someone find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach center on open conversation and reflective feedback, useful for relationship and communication concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns. CBT online often includes short homework, thought records and skill practice between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people express and respond to feelings differently, which can be helpful for intimacy and anger-related conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how each method might help. That discussion guides whether sessions lean more toward CBT skills, emotionally-focused interventions or family-oriented strategies.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or do shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow therapists to assign practical exercises and follow-up tools that clients can use between meetings, helping work continue between sessions.
