Dr. Robert Spaulding II, LPC

Dr. Robert Spaulding II is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 37 years of experience in mental health. He helps people facing addiction concerns as well as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship problems. He also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, intimacy issues, career stress, and major life changes.

Dr. Spaulding uses a direct and practical style in sessions. He focuses on building honesty, openness, willingness, and mutual respect in the therapeutic relationship. Sessions are interactive and goal oriented, with attention to concrete steps people can take between meetings.

His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. He blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Jungian ideas to meet each person where they are. The therapy plan is shaped around a client's goals, symptoms, and daily life demands.

Over nearly four decades in the field, he has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings and has long personal experience in recovery. That background informs how he talks about substance use, coping, and relapse prevention without assuming one single path for everyone.

People who choose him typically want clear guidance and practical tools alongside empathic support. To begin, he helps create a simple map of goals and next steps. Then the work focuses on steady progress toward those goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that move a person toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

The right approach often emerges together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily demands. Sessions can include skill practice, guided reflection, and concrete action plans so clients leave with clear next steps.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Others like the option to use video for face-to-face interaction or to choose audio when bandwidth is limited. The therapist will discuss which setup best fits a client's schedule and goals during the intake process.
