About Robert

Dr. Robert Hanser helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and major life changes. He offers calm, straightforward support for anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and career concerns.

Others want more direct feedback and specific tools.

Background and approach

He mixes approaches so sessions are clear and practical rather than vague. Dr. Hanser uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to pay attention to strong feelings in relationships and to help people find new ways of connecting.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new behaviors. At times he brings techniques aimed at processing trauma when that matches a person’s goals. Sessions focus on real problems and real steps forward.

He talks through concrete options, coping techniques, and ways to reduce stress and manage anger. For people dealing with substance use, domestic violence history, or military-related issues, he offers focused attention on the issues they name. He treats midlife and career transitions, questions about life purpose, and struggles with self-esteem in a practical way.

The work aims to leave people with clearer choices and usable skills they can apply between sessions.

Online support

Emotion-focused work and practical tools online

Dr. Hanser often blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice feelings and improve relationships. EFT helps identify and shift emotional patterns that keep people stuck, especially in close relationships. Client-centered work emphasizes reflective listening and supports people in finding their own solutions.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint unhelpful thoughts and teach new coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is useful for changing behaviors and building practical skills that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Together these approaches give both emotional insight and concrete tools.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level, and adjust over time as needs change. That way the work stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text fits quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
