About Robert
Robert Smith is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 25 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, career challenges, and life transitions. He also addresses addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.
He has a background in counseling and organizational psychology and has worked with high-performance professionals across demanding fields. Sessions focus on noticing patterns that escalate stress and anger, and on practical steps to change those patterns. He blends talking, reflection, and focused exercises rather than long lectures.
Robert uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see and change the thoughts and behaviors that feed angry reactions. He also draws on existential ideas to look at life choices and meaning when people feel stuck. Jungian perspectives are used to bring attention to underlying images and personal narratives that shape behavior.
Mindfulness practices are offered to strengthen emotional regulation and reduce impulsive responses. He pairs mindfulness with concrete skills so people have techniques they can use in real moments of frustration. His approach is direct and pragmatic, aimed at lowering the frequency and intensity of angry episodes.
People who contact him typically want to protect their careers and relationships from the effects of anger. He helps clients set clear goals, practice new habits, and track progress over time. To begin, he asks for a short intake to match needs and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Robert commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in work with anger and stress. CBT looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep angry reactions going and offers concrete skills to change them. Mindfulness practice trains attention and breathing so moments of frustration become easier to notice and respond to with less reactivity.He also brings existential ideas into conversations about choices, purpose, and what matters when life feels out of control. That approach helps when anger is tied to disappointment, meaning, or big transitions rather than just immediate triggers.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to decide which approaches fit their goals and daily life. That may mean starting with CBT skills, adding mindfulness practice, or spending time on questions about life direction.
