Dr. Robert Egbert is a seasoned counselor with more than 30 years of clinical experience working with individuals and families. He holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the Union Institute and an Ed.D. from Temple University, and he combines that academic background with decades of hands-on practice.
Throughout his career he has served as a school counselor and a family therapist, experience that allows him to work comfortably with clients of all ages. His areas of focus include stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy-related concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting and anger management, self-esteem and career difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Dr. Egbert practices an eclectic approach, drawing on interventions that fit each person’s needs. He commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, various family therapy models, and elements of existential therapy as appropriate for the presenting concerns.
He is licensed in Washington as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (WA LMHC 00004684). Outside of his professional life he is married with three grown children, enjoys the outdoors, travel, and anything related to radio, and lives with a professional writer who has published several books and many articles.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a real difference. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the mode of connection that fits their needs and schedule, whether that is a video appointment, a phone conversation, a live chat session, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain regular sessions and incorporate therapy into a busy life.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and if someone decides they would prefer a different provider, it is possible to change therapists to find a better fit. Online therapy can be a practical option for many people seeking support, offering comparable outcomes and adaptable ways to connect with a licensed therapist.
