About Robert
Robert Hoopingarner is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 26 years of experience in the counseling field.
Background and approach
He practices from Arizona and has worked with people presenting a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflict, grief and loss, addiction, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. Robert emphasizes respect and sensitivity, viewing each person as an individual with distinct strengths and needs.
His style is warm, interactive, and attentive, grounded in client-centered values while drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, emotionally focused strategies, and psychodynamic ideas. He adapts dialogue and treatment plans to set clear, personalized goals, combining practical coping skills with deeper exploration of patterns that affect wellbeing.
Robert also incorporates elements of the Gottman Method and solution-focused work when appropriate. Robert offers in-office and online care and has experience with individual, couples, family, and group therapy formats.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process, supporting clients through life transitions, career pressures, parenting challenges, and recovery from addiction or trauma. Those ready to make a change can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental partner in the work.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Robert integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that work well in remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening, respect, and tailoring the conversation to each person's experience, which helps build trust and clarity even when meeting virtually. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and skill-building to address patterns of thinking and behavior, making it straightforward to assign and review homework, practice coping strategies, and track progress across video or text-based formats.Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Robert will work with clients to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective and comfortable. That shared decision-making helps ensure that therapy matches a client's needs and preferences, rather than fitting them to a single method.
Online therapy with this clinician can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy weeks, support people who live far from in-office services, and allow follow-up work between live sessions.
