About Robert

Robert "Scotty" Smittle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas with 15 years of clinical experience. He focuses on concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, grief, addictions, self-esteem, parenting, and a wide range of interpersonal and mood-related issues.

Background and approach

Scotty blends practical problem solving with a warm, person-focused stance to help clients explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. His approach draws from client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emphasizing collaboration and real-world skills.

He tends to prioritize the therapeutic connection, believing that progress flows from an authentic, respectful relationship between therapist and client. Scotty also integrates additional perspectives when appropriate to address issues like attachment patterns, communication problems, body image, and compassion fatigue.

Serving clients in Arkansas and offering multiple remote session formats, he aims to meet people where they are and tailor care to individual goals. Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to his availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the relationship and the client’s perspective, offering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaborative exploration to help people feel heard and understood and to strengthen self-direction and insight. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills and homework, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, stress, and coping with life changes.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods as needed so the plan fits personal needs, preferences, and progress over time. Open dialogue about what helps and what does not guides which methods are emphasized.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or other locations. These formats can make regular attendance easier around work and family commitments and provide options for communicating in ways that feel most comfortable, whether that is real-time conversation or ongoing text-based check-ins.
