Getting to know Robert Black

Hi there, I'm Robert! Hello, my name is Robert Black. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. I hold a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from San Diego State University. I am passionate about providing therapy services to clients of all ages who are seeking growth and healing in their lives and those on a journey of self-discovery. My approach I am focused on relieving suffering and enhancing the functioning of clients in key roles in life. My approach is client-centered. I will meet you with empathy, non-judgment, open-mindedness, and unconditional positive regard and acceptance. I will work collaboratively with you as we set clear goals for your treatment, utilizing a variety of therapeutic techniques that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Humanistic and Existential Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Grief Counseling. My focus I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults across the lifespan to help you through a variety of personal struggles and life transitions to help you attain the highest level of mental health and wellness. I treat depression, anxiety (generalized anxiety, social anxiety, specific phobia, panic disorder), coping skills, mindfulness, stress, relationship issues, social and behavioral issues, grief and bereavement, and other adjustment issues. My communication style I believe effective communication is crucial in counseling as it establishes trust and rapport with my clients and builds the foundation for successful counseling relationships. My communication style is empathic and collaborative, fostering a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for clients through a client-centered approach. I utilize active listening to reflect back to clients what they’ve said to foster understanding.
