Robert is the epitome of professionalism and is very personable. Robert has helped me grow out of a low point in my life by helping me set realistic and obtainable goals to better my mental health. Robert is very flexible with scheduling and is easy to adapt to my chaotic schedule. I’d give Robert a raise if I were able to. Great guy.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with 30 years of professional work experience where I have and continue to own and outpatient group practice service families and adults. I have experience in helping clients with depression and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem and confidence, personality disorders, and bipolar disorder.

I have been trained in cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, DBT and acceptance and commitment therapy. My approach tends to be client centered and based upon your needs, where we create a safe and nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly.

I look forward to getting to know you and joining you on your journey to being the best version of you possible.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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 Brown is a great listener but also knows what to ask to get to the deeper points. He helps find what you truly want to improve your life.

Reviewed March 2023

Robert Brown has been incredible to me. I struggled to really have a mission coming into therapy, a focus, and despite that confusion he helped me learn more about myself, exploring my actions and how they effect me and others around me. Even after a few sessions I’ve begun to come to terms with my new reality and what I have to do moving forward and what’s best for me. It could be my lack of aim, but it feels like we’re just having discussions, yet I’m learning more about myself and how to proceed constructively. Robert is tier A!

Reviewed March 2023

Robert is exceedingly insightful and supportive. He actively listens, asks important questions, and gives gentle and actionable advice. His messages in between phone sessions are also very helpful. As someone who sometimes feels overwhelmed with phone or video sessions, his chat messages really help.
