Background and approach
From there he blends narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at the stories people tell themselves and patterns that repeat over time. He also brings solution-focused techniques to help clients find concrete steps they can try between sessions. Rob has experience in K-12 educational settings and independent practice, so he is familiar with school-related stress and parenting questions.
He also assists people dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, and work or career stresses. He notes specific interest in issues like attachment, body image, blended family adjustments, and forgiveness. Outside of counseling he spends winters doing avalanche mitigation and guiding on his snowboard, which influences his interest in coping with risk and recovery after crisis.
He is married and is a parent to an adult daughter, which informs his perspective on parenting and fatherhood topics. Sessions are offered in English and use a collaborative style that seeks to identify strengths and small changes that add up. Rob focuses on making therapy understandable and practical for people juggling family, work, and life transitions.
How Rob blends therapeutic approaches for online work
Rob often uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions begin with careful listening and follow the client’s priorities to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful place to talk through feeling overwhelmed or unsure about next steps.He also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and find their own reasons for change. That method is useful for increasing motivation around habits, career moves, or managing overwhelm. Narrative therapy is another tool he uses to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to open up new possibilities for identity and action.
Picking the right approach is part of the work. Rob will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then shape sessions around what seems most helpful. The decision about method is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to talking.
