About Robert

Dr. Robert Spaulding II is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 37 years of experience in mental health. He works with adults on relationship trouble, trauma and abuse, anger, stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Sessions address practical problems like parenting strain, career stress, and managing strong emotions.

His approach is direct and interactive. He uses clear conversation, skill practice, and focused exercises rather than long theoretical talks. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice painful thoughts without acting on them.

Robert has a background working in outpatient and inpatient settings and many years of recovery experience, which informs how he talks about substance use and relapse prevention. He combines client-centered principles with methods from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

In sessions he tends to lay out concrete steps and check progress over time. That can include communication practice for strained relationships, strategies for handling anger spikes, and plans for coping with grief or career change. He also integrates some Jungian ideas when looking at patterns that repeat across a person’s life.

People who come for coaching-style support will find goal-focused work alongside therapy. International clients can be supported in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats with the practice.

How sessions work

How his approaches are used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It is used to build willingness to act on values despite difficult emotions, which can help with anger and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, reworking unhelpful thoughts, and changing actions that lead to conflict.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes specific skills for regulating intense emotions and improving communication. These skills are useful when anger flares up or relationships become strained.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That decision is reviewed and adjusted as progress is tracked.

Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. For people juggling work, parenting, or caregiving, that practical flexibility can help keep steady progress without reshaping the whole day.
