About Robert
Dr. Robert Lone is a California Psychologist (CA Psychologist 18719) and a Washington Psychologist (WA Psychologist PY 60871703) with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, addictions, parenting concerns, anger, and coping with life transitions.

In a typical session he listens to what is happening now, helps sort out the patterns that keep problems going, and tests small changes people can try between meetings. He uses concrete strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches when unhelpful thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way of daily life. Motivational interviewing elements are used when people are ambivalent about change.

How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Dr. Lone uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take steps toward them even when uncomfortable feelings are present, which can help when anger comes from unmet needs or avoidance. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking that fuels angry responses.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. He will work with clients to choose approaches based on their goals, what has helped before, and what feels workable in daily life. Sessions often combine listening, skills practice, and short homework tasks to try between meetings so progress can be measured over time.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to use practical tools in real-world settings and bring examples from daily life into session discussions.
