About Robert

Robert Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with forty years of practice in Florida. He focuses on helping people through major life stresses such as anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and big changes. He often works with clients who want to rebuild self-esteem and improve how they communicate with others.

His caseload has included a wide range of concerns, from panic and post-traumatic stress to divorce and separation. He also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, dependent and avoidant personality patterns, jealousy, and dynamics related to narcissism. Chronic illness, cancer, hospice and end-of-life questions are part of his experience as well.

Robert uses a person-centered style that aims to meet each person where they are. He can work with clients interested in faith-informed counseling or those who prefer a nonreligious look at spirituality. Sessions focus on talking through what matters most to the client and finding practical ways forward.

In sessions he helps people process difficult emotions, build insight into patterns, and practice different ways of communicating. He emphasizes a respectful pace so clients can make changes without feeling rushed. The work often combines emotional support with clear steps people can try between meetings.

Over a long career he has developed particular skill in guiding people through loss, illness, and the relational fallout of major life events. People who want straightforward guidance on life purpose, coping, or navigating complex relationships may find his approach helpful.

Existential approaches and working online

Existential Therapy looks at the big questions people face, like meaning, freedom, and personal responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck by encouraging honest reflection about values, life choices, and what matters most.

Robert pairs this perspective with a person-centered way of working that focuses on the client's experience in the moment. That means the therapist and client talk through what feels important, try out different ways of handling situations, and decide together what direction to take.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will help you determine whether an existential lens, a focus on relationships, or a different emphasis fits your goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Because the source biography does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting therapy into a busy week, shortening travel time, and making it easier to meet during a lunch break or between errands. Online work can allow a consistent meeting rhythm that supports steady progress without requiring a long commute.
