About Robert

Robert Gernenz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Hawaii who describes his style as client-centered and nonjudgmental.

Background and approach

Over five years of clinical work, he has emphasized cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients gain awareness of how thoughts and behaviors interact, and he combines that foundation with psychoeducation, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to shape individualized plans.

His practice focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career concerns, and obsessive-compulsive presentations. Robert aims to meet clients where they are, tailoring interventions to fit each person’s needs while supporting skill development and insight.

Robert earned a Master's in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and holds the Hawaii LMHC license MHC-801. He offers work in English and accepts international clients, using a mix of talk-based and skills-oriented methods to help clients move toward their goals.

Approach-focused online care that adapts to your needs

Robert integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices into online sessions, explaining and practicing skills that help people notice patterns of thought and respond differently to stress and anxiety. CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors, which can be useful for mood concerns, anxiety, ADHD-related patterns, and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and present-moment awareness techniques that support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity in everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, explore which methods feel most helpful, and adapt techniques over time so the plan reflects the client's priorities and preferences rather than a fixed protocol.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Hawaii or abroad, accommodate busy routines, and allow clients to practice skills between sessions using the communication style that fits them best.
