About Robert
Dr. Robert Egbert brings more than 30 years of clinical experience to his work in Washington. He is a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
He also supports those coping with trauma, grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and life transitions. He uses practical, conversational sessions so people can talk through what feels most pressing. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on concrete steps that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
He adapts his style to each person and keeps explanations simple and direct. Dr. Egbert draws on approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide conversations and interventions.
He also uses ideas from existential and family-based work when those perspectives seem helpful. The goal is to match methods to the problem and the person, not to force a single approach. He has experience working with issues like parenting stress, caregiver strain, attachment and abandonment worries, blended family problems, and communication breakdowns.
He also addresses concerns tied to aging, career decisions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He aims to make sessions useful and manageable for everyday life. Outside of practice he enjoys the outdoors, travel, and radio.
He lives in Washington with a long-time partner who is a published writer.

Online support
Approach and access for online therapy
Dr. Egbert commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and attachment patterns, helping people understand how emotions shape their responses in close relationships. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening space where a person’s own goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working and check in regularly to make sure the methods are helping. That process helps shape a plan that fits the individual rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a session fits into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support between longer sessions, and options for people who prefer writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect from different locations.
