About Robert
Dr. Robert Egbert brings three decades of clinical experience to his practice in Washington. He holds a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and an Ed.D., and he practices as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC.
He writes plainly with patients and aims to make therapy understandable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed. He helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and sleep or eating concerns. He also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar issues, career crossroads, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Relationship and intimacy concerns are part of his work, and he uses approaches that focus on connection and communication. His style is flexible and straightforward. He draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of him.
He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to break unhelpful patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to examine emotions that drive behavior. Dr. Egbert has earlier experience as a school counselor and family therapist, which shaped his practical, down-to-earth way of talking about problems.
He emphasizes clear steps people can try between sessions and aims to reduce confusion about what therapy will look like. Outside of clinical work he enjoys the outdoors, travel, and radio. He lives with a professional writer and is a husband and father of three grown children.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Egbert often combines methods to meet a person's needs. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication patterns and practical exercises that can help partners improve how they handle conflict and build connection. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, helping people feel heard and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers straightforward strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that match the person's situation. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video mirrors a face-to-face visit and supports exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good fit for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow brief exchanges or ongoing support between appointments, and they can be used for tracking progress or quick reflections.
