Hello, I’m Robert! My name is Robert Porta and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Merced, California, and working with clients Statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, and stress using, but not limited to, Person-Centered Therapy, Psychoanalysis, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helping my clients to build trust, gain insight, and make progress to feel better. My approach I base my approach upon the needs of the client; however, I most frequently use Person-Centered Therapy, Psychoanalysis, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These modalities have been found effective in building a shared understanding, allowing us to work as a team in forging a positive direction in life. My focus I find that my approach works well for adults and older adults dealing with life challenges and stress. This often emanates into symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. I work with my clients as a guide to their success in navigating through their life challenges, building awareness, and skills for positive life change and outlook. My communication style My communication style is calm and approachable. My aspiration is for my clients to feel comfortable in an atmosphere of trust, openness, and growth, without judgment or preconception. My journey to therapy For the last 40 years, my life has always centered around helping people. I have served as a community organizer and volunteer. In my last 20 years, I have served as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing psychotherapy. I am naturally drawn to helping people. Their success in positive change and outlook is for celebration and gratitude. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is to take a very collaborative approach, setting goals as a team by understanding what you want to accomplish in our therapeutic experience together. Agreed goals will be measured for tracking and success for positive change and outlook in life.
