About Robert

Dr. Robert Spaulding II is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 37 years of experience in the mental health field. He focuses on concerns such as relationship troubles, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, parenting stress, and career or self-esteem challenges. He aims to offer straightforward, practical help for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

He holds a doctoral degree in psychology and brings long-term recovery experience to conversations about substance use and addiction. His work is direct and interactive, with an emphasis on honesty, mutual respect, and clear goals. Sessions tend to be practical and problem-focused while still acknowledging personal values and life context.

Therapeutic methods Robert uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Jungian Therapy. He adapts these approaches to fit what each person needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

People can expect a down-to-earth style that combines empathy with action steps. The aim is to build a map for change together and move toward the goals a person brings to therapy. Robert also draws on experience with 12-step models and long-term recovery when relevant.

He welcomes conversations in English and works with clients in Georgia and beyond. To begin, readers are invited to use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule based on availability.

Step 3

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in the room, using empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help someone find their own solutions and sense of direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. That fit can be adjusted over time as issues change or new priorities appear.

The therapist's biography does not specify which session formats are used online, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between obligations. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy level - for example, a shorter phone check-in or a longer video session when more time is available. Talk with the therapist about what schedule and format would work best for day-to-day life.
