More about Robert
- 30 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am licensed in North Carolina with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, & parenting issues.
My approach to therapy is simple. Visualize getting into your car or whatever it is you drive. To get where you are going you look out the windshield. You use the rear view mirror as needed but you don't drive looking backwards. You drive by having vision and a plan to get where you're going.
The therapy process is very similar. Teaching ourselves to live life looking forward and having a plan is how we move forward in life. We learn from the past. We see patterns and trends and use this information to make adjustments, but we live by having a vision for ourselves, finding purpose and in the moment of choice, exercise integrity to our core fundamental beliefs/values.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Robert has a kind and gentle soul. He cares about me and my mental health. He is a great listener and gives sound advise. I am so blessed to have found him.
Robert Lindsay is an amazing therapist and mentor. Over our time together we’ve developed an amazing, respectful and fun rapport. Through our shared interests and experiences I feel very safe and respected. I would recommend Robert to anyone. When I first started my confusing self improvement journey. Robert was there with me from close to the beginning. His insight, guidance and friendly listening ear have been crucial to my growth over the last few months. Thank you Robert.
Of the many I’ve had over the past 30 years, Robert may be the best. Tremendous experience, exceptional listener, empowering and on-point advice & encouragement. I’m so grateful!
Robert is very friendly, knowledgeable, respectful and really listens to what you are saying. He gives incredible advice and input to help change your perspective on things. He is non judgmental and someone who you instantly feel safe with being an open book with. I highly recommend Robert to anyone who is looking for a therapist.
He listens, shows genuine care, and does everything he can to help. Wonderful therapist overall
I’ve only had a few sessions with Robert but I’m already starting to see improvements in my mental health and overall life. He’s been very helpful and I would highly recommend him to others!
Although early in our therapy, Rob provides support but also challenges my way of thinking. Reinforces the process not just the end state. Asks the hard questions and provides reframing regarding my issues.
Great therapist really helpful great match for me
Robert is very kind and listens. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help.
Robert has been great to work with and really listens to what my goals are. He offers different viewpoints that I haven’t seen myself which has been very beneficial.
