About Robert
Robert Anzola is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with 30 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and money and financial issues. He works mainly with individuals and also sees some couples and families.
He uses a straightforward, listening-first approach. Sessions begin with the client's immediate concern and practical next steps. He pays attention to what feels realistic for each person and helps build small, steady changes that add up over time.
Robert draws on several ways of working to match the person in front of him. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps challenge unhelpful thinking and rebuild day-to-day habits. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy and the client's own goals. He also uses motivational interviewing to support change and psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns.
In sessions he aims to be calm and encouraging. He listens for strengths clients already have and points out small wins. He helps people plan doable steps for relationships, parenting, career decisions, and coping with life transitions.
Over three decades he has worked with a wide range of issues including trauma, bipolar concerns, intimacy-related struggles, and older adult issues. People who come for help often want clear options and practical support, and he focuses on making therapy understandable and useful.
Approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals and experience first. The therapist listens deeply, follows the client's lead, and helps the person make choices that feel right for them. This approach is useful for stress, relationship concerns, and finding direction in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and building new routines. It breaks problems into steps and uses practical exercises people can do between sessions to reduce anxiety or shift mood.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approach, or combination of approaches, matches their needs, goals, and preferences. This decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan adapts when circumstances change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is helpful, or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking so sessions fit your routine.
