About Robert
Dr. Robert Egbert brings more than three decades of clinical experience to his practice, combining deep training in counseling psychology with many years working in school and family settings.
Background and approach
He holds advanced doctoral degrees and has supported people across the lifespan with concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD and learning or behavior disorders, relationship and communication difficulties, parenting challenges, eating concerns, addictions, trauma, grief, and career transitions. His Washington licensure is LMHC WA 00004684.
Dr. Egbert describes an integrative approach, drawing on client-centered listening alongside structured methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and family-focused techniques to suit each person's needs.
He also integrates existential themes and Internal Family Systems ideas when they help clients explore inner parts, values, and meaning. His style emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and attention to interpersonal patterns that shape daily life and long-term satisfaction.
Outside of clinical work he values family life, the outdoors, travel, and radio, and draws on decades of professional and personal perspective when helping clients navigate change and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Dr. Egbert commonly uses Internal Family Systems, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Internal Family Systems frames inner experience as a system of parts and can help people understand conflicting feelings, protectors, and wounded parts that influence behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own goals to support growth and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical strategies to change reactions and improve mood and functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies as therapy progresses rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it possible to schedule around work, family, or geographic distance while still engaging in therapeutic exercises, parts work, and skills practice. The variety of options helps clients stay connected to ongoing care in ways that suit their rhythm and life demands.
