About Robert
Rev. Robert Hotes is a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana who helps people facing anger, grief, career shifts, and major life changes. He combines practical coaching with listening to guide people toward clearer decisions and calmer reactions.
He speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on immediate concerns and next steps. With 20 years as a licensed mental health counselor, he draws on long experience supporting people through stress, compassion fatigue, and relationship and intimacy-related worries.
Background and approach
He also helps with sleeping and eating struggles, self-esteem, bipolar-related issues, and challenges faced by LGBT clients. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they are feeling. Sessions often include coaching-style goals, concrete coping strategies, and time to process emotions.
That mix is useful for anger management and for moving through grief or major life transitions. Robert works with people on caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, and end-of-life concerns. He pays attention to multicultural issues and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on wellbeing.
His approach favors straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than abstract theory. People who reach out usually begin by clarifying what they want to change. From there he helps set short-term goals and practices to use between sessions.
This helps people track progress and build habits that reduce reactivity and improve everyday functioning.

How his approaches translate to online care
Robert uses plain, evidence-based techniques that focus on goals and coping skills. One common approach is coaching-style problem solving, which breaks big issues into small steps and helps people set reachable goals. This can help with anger management, career moves, and coping with life changes. Another approach emphasizes emotion-focused listening and processing, giving people space to name strong feelings and practice calmer responses; that is useful for grief, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try methods, check progress, and adjust plans so the work fits day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people have a fuller conversation and see facial cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, quick coaching prompts, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit regular work on anger, grief, or life transitions into a busy schedule.
