About Robert

Dr. Robert Spaulding II is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 37 years of experience in mental health care. He works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, addiction concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, and codependency among other issues. He also addresses parenting, career stress, and the effects of caregiving and life transitions.

He describes his approach as interactive and practical. Sessions are direct and focused on honest conversation. He emphasizes mutual respect and an open, willing attitude as the basis for working toward change.

Robert uses a mix of well-known methods to help people learn new ways of coping. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for values-based action, client-centered techniques to follow the client's lead, and Jungian ideas when exploring deeper personal meaning.

His background spans inpatient and outpatient addiction settings and long-term personal recovery experience. That history shapes how he works with substance use and related relationship patterns. He also brings experience with attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, autism spectrum needs, and intimacy-related matters.

Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site's online options.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, and decisions about difficult life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. This is useful for anxiety, anger, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, often helpful for anger, relationship conflict, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, life circumstances and which methods feel most helpful. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedule constraints exist. Online conversations also make it easier to bring examples from daily life into sessions and to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT and DBT tools to an online setting so work continues even when in-person meetings are not possible.
