About Robert
Robert Hoopingarner is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona (LPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio (LPCC) with 26 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, addiction, grief, parenting pressures, ADHD, and codependency concerns. He also addresses career strain and problems that come with life transitions.
He uses a conversational, person-focused style in sessions. He listens and helps people clarify what matters to them. He aims to reduce immediate distress and identify practical steps people can take between meetings.
His work draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas. That means conversations focus on current thoughts and patterns, while also exploring how emotions drive actions in close relationships. Gottman ideas appear when couples work on communication and conflict patterns.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage anxiety, stress, and strong emotions. He also integrates psychodynamic perspectives to look at how past relationships shape present behavior. Together these approaches help people who often put others first find clearer boundaries and more balanced responses.
Sessions move at a steady, pragmatic pace. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. Practical tools, behavioral experiments, and communication exercises are commonly used so change can show up in daily life.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Robert integrates Client-Centered Therapy by focusing on each person’s concerns and reflecting what matters most to them; this helps people feel heard and clarifies goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and to try concrete behavior experiments that change daily routines and responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is applied to identify emotion-driven patterns in close relationships and to improve how partners or loved ones connect and respond.Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most practical. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adapt those methods as work progresses.
