Robert Hoopingarner

Robert Hoopingarner is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 26 years in the field. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflict, addiction, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and challenges linked to life changes. His tone is warm and direct and he focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions.

He treats each person as an individual with strengths to build on. Sessions are collaborative and respectful, and he avoids stigmatizing labels. He listens closely and uses a conversational, interactive style to help people find clearer thinking and better daily routines.

Robert uses a mix of approaches based on what a person needs. He draws on client-centered ideas to follow the person's priorities. He also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas are woven in when attention to feelings or relationships can make a difference.

In practical terms he helps set simple goals and builds steps that fit into everyday life. That might mean tools for managing worry, planning for work or family changes, handling anger, or working through grief. He also offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions.

People who reach out will be invited to shape the plan for therapy and to move at a pace that suits them. He encourages realistic, measurable steps so progress can be noticed between sessions.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist mirrors concerns, asks questions to clarify what matters most, and helps set goals that feel useful for daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete tools for managing worry, low mood, or unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on feeling and relationship patterns and can help people sort strong emotions and repair connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust as progress is tracked. Clients are treated as collaborators in choosing what feels most helpful.
