About Robert
Robert Whiting is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona with 15 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self‑esteem, and depression, working with those who want practical ways to manage feelings and behaviors.
He uses clear, action‑oriented methods rather than vague talk. Sessions often include problem solving, skill practice, and short-term goals. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to help people change patterns that cause distress.
Robert writes plans that reflect daily life demands like work, caregiving, and health issues. He addresses related concerns such as chronic pain, isolation, guilt and shame, control issues, communication problems, and life purpose. He also has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and process addictions such as gambling or problematic pornography use.
In sessions he typically talks through what is happening now, what has been tried, and what concrete steps might help. He supports people managing panic attacks, mood shifts, and midlife transitions by breaking challenges into manageable tasks. He also helps those coping with caregiver stress and chronic illness to find coping strategies that fit their routines.
To begin, people choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing alternative responses to reduce symptoms of depression and panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and managing interpersonal conflicts.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, past attempts, and what methods feel most practical. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan based on what works in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It also makes it possible to practice skills between sessions in real life and bring those experiences back to talk about what helped and what did not.
