About Robert
Dr. Robert Hanser helps people who are overwhelmed by anger, grief, addiction, relationship strain, or big life changes. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience and practices in Louisiana.
He listens closely and gives straightforward feedback to help clients move forward. He works with people facing trauma, family conflict, substance issues, and problems with intimacy and self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and career stress.
Background and approach
Anger is a common focus, and he helps people find safer ways to express and manage it. His style shifts to match each person. Some sessions are quiet and reflective, using client-centered listening.
Other times he offers more direct suggestions and practical tools, including cognitive techniques and work that reaches deeper memories. He uses several approaches to address painful memories and current patterns, and he tailors those methods to a person’s goals. He aims to give concrete options and clear steps people can try between sessions.
His ethic is to stay nonjudgmental and keep the client’s welfare front and center. Dr. Hanser has particular experience with addiction, domestic violence, codependency, and issues common to veterans.
He also helps people who feel stuck and want to find meaning or purpose. The work is collaborative and focused on measurable changes that matter in everyday life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and reflecting what a person says to help them find their own answers; it suits people who want space to talk and be heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior, which works well for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process painful memories and can reduce the intensity of trauma-related responses when done step by step.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that match those aims. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and decisions are made collaboratively so people feel involved in the plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when written reflection helps the process. These options make therapy easier to fit into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
