About Robert
He is a licensed psychologist in Washington and California and has practiced for 30 years. He works from a client-centered stance, which means he treats people as the experts on their own lives and looks to build on their existing strengths. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy ideas when they fit the person and the issue.
In sessions he helps people name what matters most, notice unhelpful patterns, and try small, practical shifts that can reduce distress. He uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises rather than jargon. The pace and focus are set together based on each person’s needs.
He has broad experience with concerns that include grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting stress, career issues, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses more specific areas like abandonment, codependency, chronic illness, and family of origin matters.
Dr. Lone aims to support people as they clarify goals and move toward more rewarding daily life. If someone wants a direct, respectful approach that centers their priorities, he offers steady guidance and practical tools.
