About Robert
Dr. Robert Cipriano Jr brings a practical, straightforward approach to therapy. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and, more recently, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help people manage strong emotions and stressful life events.
He practices from Florida and has two decades of experience as a licensed psychologist. He focuses on problems people commonly face, such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. He also helps with addictions, sleep problems, relationship and family issues, parenting concerns, and career questions.
Background and approach
People turn to him for support after trauma, for compassion fatigue, and for help with coping during major life changes. Before working in independent practice he provided services in hospital trauma and inpatient behavioral health settings. He has run many critical incident stress debriefings and has supported first responders and public safety staff after intense incidents.
That background informs his work with people who have faced traumatic events. Dr. Cipriano holds psychologist credentials in California and North Carolina as well as Florida.
He has written about wellness and helped develop wellness programs for public safety personnel. In sessions he aims to be direct, practical, and focused on specific, achievable steps. Clients can expect clear goal-setting and tools to use between sessions.
Dr. Cipriano tailors his use of CBT and EMDR to each person's needs and works with them to build coping strategies that fit day-to-day life.

Approaches Robert lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Using CBT and EMDR in online care
Dr. Cipriano commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills like thought tracking, behavioral experiments, and practical coping tools that people can use between meetings.He also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related symptoms. EMDR involves guided processing that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the reactions they provoke, and it is used when trauma work is appropriate for a client's goals.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptom patterns and recommend a path forward. Plans may combine methods or shift over time as needs change, and the client helps guide those decisions.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a speaker-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter, frequent check-ins possible and can fit into breaks or tight schedules. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
