About Robert
Robert Anzola, LICSW, helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and more. He brings 30 years of experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps that people can use in daily life. Robert listens closely and aims to make sessions feel grounded and straightforward.
He works mainly with individuals and offers a calm, steady presence to help someone sort through hard moments. His approach is direct and compassionate rather than full of jargon.
Background and approach
In therapy he uses a mix of methods that match each person's needs. That can include client-centered conversations that follow the person's pace, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. Robert also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and on hypnotherapy when appropriate.
Together these tools help address concerns such as parenting stress, intimacy issues, eating and substance-related problems, career changes, and feelings of isolation. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable strategies. He helps people develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and manage impulses.
The work is collaborative, with attention to what fits the person’s life and values.

Approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they identify what matters most and set personal goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. It teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns through practice between sessions.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change. It uses respectful conversation to build motivation and test small steps toward goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That fit can change over time and will be reviewed together.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
