About Robert
Dr. Robert Egbert is a licensed mental health counselor with three decades of experience. He holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and an Ed.D., and has practiced in Washington in school and community settings.
He brings steady, plainspoken guidance to people facing stress, mood struggles, or relationship strain. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions often break problems into small parts to find workable changes.
He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address thoughts and behaviors, and on emotion-focused methods to improve connection and communication.
Background and approach
Dr. Egbert also uses client-centered and existential approaches when they fit a person’s goals. That means he pays attention to what matters to each individual and helps them consider meaning, values, and choices.
He has spent years helping people with anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting challenges, ADHD, and anger. People who choose him often want calm, direct feedback and tools they can practice between sessions.
He has experience in school counseling and family systems work, so he is comfortable talking about parenting, communication, and blended-family issues when those topics come up. Outside of work he enjoys the outdoors, travel, and radio. He lives in Washington with a partner who is a published writer and raises his three grown children as part of his life story.

How Dr. Egbert Brings Therapy Online
Dr. Egbert uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel collaborative and grounded in each person's goals. This approach focuses on listening, understanding what matters to the person, and shaping sessions around their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, another mainstay, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides concrete tools to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will help clients try methods and see what fits best, adjusting techniques to match a person’s goals and life circumstances. The process is collaborative, with the therapist and client deciding on priorities and practical steps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging is helpful for brief updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent contact over time.
