About Robert

Robert Hoopingarner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with 26 years in the counseling field. He works with people facing depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflict, and self-esteem concerns. He also helps with grief, addiction, trauma, adjustment to life changes, and work-related strain.

His approach is warm and interactive. He listens closely and treats each person with respect and sensitivity. He avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on the person, not a diagnosis.

In sessions he adapts methods to fit each person’s needs. He uses client-centered ways of working alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques and emotion-focused ideas. He also draws on psychodynamic perspectives, mindfulness practices, and aspects of the Gottman Method when relationship work is needed.

Robert aims to set clear, achievable goals with each person. That can include short-term coping skills, patterns to notice in daily life, or longer-term changes in relationships and routines. He frames the work as a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the plan.

He has experience with individual, couples, family, and group work and offers both in-office and online sessions. If someone is ready to make a change, he supports and empowers each step while tailoring the approach to that person’s situation.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. In online work this means the therapist creates space for each person to speak, reflect, and set the agenda for sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns. Online sessions can use brief exercises, homework, and step-by-step skills practice to address anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift emotional responses in relationships and can be used to work through attachment and communication patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods feel most useful based on a person’s goals, needs, and comfort. That collaboration guides what techniques are tried and how progress is tracked.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Licensed professionals can use the same practical exercises and goal setting online that they use in person, helping people practice new skills in real life while keeping the process focused and manageable.
