About
Robert Kraft is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois (IL LCSW 149005959) with more than 15 years of professional experience.
He aims to support people in bringing forth their best and embraces the adage, “When you are ready for the next step, you will approach that step.” In his role as a therapist he focuses on helping individuals become the people they want to be.
He views change as a process that requires self-exploration - which may involve discussing difficult or challenging issues - and a readiness, when appropriate, to step outside one’s comfort zone and try new behaviors. As clients describe their situation and the obstacles they face, he may ask questions such as, “How have you previously approached similar challenges?” What worked? What didn’t work? What can you do to improve your chance for success?
If someone is taking a self-limiting perspective, he might suggest replacing self-defeating messages with more appreciative and optimistic statements like “I am worthy” or “I am good at _______.” If a person does not believe they are worthy or skilled, he will invite them to explain how they reached that conclusion. At other times he may simply sit with a person in supportive presence and leave it to them to tap into their gifts.
Throughout the process he listens, reflects what he hears, and may offer his perspective, with the hope that the person can put the pieces together and give their best.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people ask whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A key advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that best fits their needs - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy life. Licensed professionals provide online care, and it is possible to switch to a different therapist at any time if a different fit is desired.How much experience does Robert Kraft have?
