About Robert
Robert Anzola is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, depression, grief, and codependency. He offers a calm, steady presence and listens closely to what people say so they can find practical ways forward. His approach is straightforward and focused on small, doable steps that fit into everyday life.
In sessions he emphasizes empathy and active listening. He draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's goals and values. He also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and from motivational interviewing to build readiness for change.
Robert blends short-term problem-solving with deeper work when it helps most. That can include looking at how past patterns shape current choices and relationships. He supports people facing burnout, compassion fatigue, parenting challenges, intimacy struggles, and life transitions.
He works with individual adults on issues such as addiction, bipolar mood concerns, eating problems, attachment and control issues, and isolation or loneliness. Robert also helps people navigate divorce and blended family dynamics, fatherhood concerns, and aging-related stress.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. In an online setting this means the therapist follows the client's concerns and helps set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and provides specific tools to change them. CBT techniques can be taught and practiced during sessions to address anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods to try first based on goals and what feels most helpful. Adjustments are made over time if a different focus would be more useful.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. It can make it easier to have shorter check-ins around work or to continue care when routines change. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking so you know which formats fit your needs.
