About Robert
His style is straightforward and interactive. He aims for honest, respectful conversations that point to practical next steps. Sessions focus on building a strong working relationship and creating a clear plan to reach goals.
He draws on several approaches to shape sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Jungian ideas. Those approaches are used to help people manage emotions, change unhelpful patterns, and clarify values and choices.
Dr. Spaulding has spent decades in clinical settings and long-term recovery, and he often integrates that perspective into work around addiction and relapse prevention. He describes his manner as engaging, empathic, and direct, and he emphasizes openness and mutual respect in session.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make choices that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and finding motivation when life changes feel overwhelming. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client leads the pace and direction of healing. It is helpful for building self-esteem and addressing relationship and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time as goals shift or progress is made.

It can also allow sessions to be scheduled around work, caregiving, or other daily demands so therapy remains consistent and practical.
