About Robert
Robert Ringoen is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington. He uses clear, practical methods to help people manage strong emotions like anger, stress, and anxiety. He also supports those coping with trauma, depression, and major life changes.
Robert favors straightforward conversation and focused tools. Sessions concentrate on what’s happening now and on steps a person can try between meetings. He aims to make the room a place to speak honestly without judgment.
Background and approach
With six years of experience, he draws on several clinical approaches to match a person's needs. That includes strategies to change unhelpful thinking, skills for regulating intense feelings, and guided methods for processing traumatic memories. He adapts these tools to each person’s situation rather than using one fixed method.
Many people come for help with anger, forgiveness, guilt, or the effects of past abuse. Others seek support for loneliness, social anxiety, life purpose, or relationship wounds such as infidelity. Robert listens for the issues that matter most and works alongside the person to set realistic, measurable goals.
His style is direct but empathetic. He encourages small, concrete changes that can improve day-to-day functioning. Robert helps people build skills, try new responses, and track progress over time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Robert commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. EMDR helps people process distressing memories by using guided bilateral stimulation alongside talk work, which can ease the hold of past trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which method or combination fits their needs, goals, and comfort level. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or a way to share thoughts between visits. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
