Getting to know Robert Holmes
I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 12 years of experience providing evidence‑based therapy to individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents. My practice integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma‑informed care, and motivational approaches to help clients reduce anxiety, improve coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
As a U.S. Navy Veteran, I offer culturally competent and supportive care for veterans navigating trauma, reintegration, identity transitions, and relationship stress. I also provide affirming, strengths‑based therapy for LGBTQ+ clients, including youth and adults, with experience supporting identity development, community belonging, and challenges common within LGBTQ+ and kink communities.
I am committed to creating a welcoming, collaborative environment where clients feel understood, empowered, and supported in building clarity, resilience, and emotional well‑being.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you come to Clarity Point Counseling, you can expect a calm, welcoming environment designed to help you feel comfortable and supported from the moment you arrive. Your first session focuses on getting to know you—your concerns, your goals, and what brought you in. I take time to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and understand your experiences so we can build a clear, collaborative plan for therapy.
My approach is grounded in evidence‑based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma‑informed care, and practical skill‑building. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or major life transitions, you’ll receive guidance that is structured, compassionate, and tailored to your needs.
As a U.S. Navy Veteran and LGBTQ+ affirming clinician, I provide culturally competent care for veterans, LGBTQ+ clients, and individuals from all backgrounds. Children and adolescents can expect a supportive, age‑appropriate space where they can express themselves safely while learning tools to manage emotions, behavior, and stress.
Each session is collaborative—you’ll always know what we’re working on, why it matters, and how it supports your goals. My priority is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and feel empowered in your daily life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A typical session at Clarity Point Counseling is structured, supportive, and focused on helping you make meaningful progress toward your goals.
1. Settling In
Each session begins with a brief check‑in. You’ll have space to share how you’ve been feeling, any changes since your last visit, and what feels most important to focus on today.
2. Collaborative Agenda Setting
Together, we identify the key topics for the session. This ensures the time is purposeful and aligned with your needs—whether that’s managing anxiety, processing a difficult experience, improving communication, or supporting your child or teen through challenges.
3. Evidence‑Based Work
Sessions often include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies, trauma‑informed interventions, and practical skill‑building. You’ll learn tools to understand your thoughts and emotions, reduce distress, and strengthen coping skills. For children and adolescents, sessions may include age‑appropriate activities, emotional regulation skills, and supportive conversation tailored to their developmental stage.
4. Supportive Exploration
We explore patterns, experiences, and emotions at a pace that feels safe and manageable. As a U.S. Navy Veteran and LGBTQ+ affirming clinician, I provide culturally competent care for veterans, LGBTQ+ clients, and individuals from all backgrounds.
5. Planning and Integration
Before wrapping up, we review what was helpful, identify any skills to practice between sessions, and clarify next steps. You’ll always leave with a sense of direction and support.
6. Consistent, Compassionate Care
Every session is collaborative—you’ll know what we’re working on, why it matters, and how it supports your long‑term goals. My aim is to help you build clarity, resilience, and confidence both inside and outside the therapy room.
