About Robert
Robert Whiting is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions. He aims to meet people where they are and to create a plan that fits their life and goals.
His work emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation so the plan matches real needs.
Background and approach
He helps people build skills for emotional regulation, clearer communication, and healthier coping strategies. Robert draws on several evidence-informed methods, including acceptance and commitment-based techniques, cognitive-behavioral tools, and mindfulness practices. He also uses approaches that support motivation and teach distress tolerance skills.
These tools are selected to address the concerns someone brings, such as panic, mood shifts, or process addictions. Over his career he has supported people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, feelings of abandonment, and issues around life purpose and midlife transitions. He also works with concerns tied to veteran and armed forces experiences and men’s issues.
Sessions focus on achievable steps and clearer decision making. People meet with him by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Robert is based in Arizona and sees clients in English.
If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people focus on what matters most and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance through skills like grounding and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to choose techniques that fit the person’s needs, pace, and daily routine.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact or brief skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while still accessing licensed professionals.
