About Robert

Dr. Robert Spaulding II is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 37 years of experience in mental health care. He works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, relationship problems, trauma and substance-related issues. He also supports people facing grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, depression, and work or career strain.

He prefers direct and practical sessions that focus on clear steps people can use between meetings. Conversations are interactive and goal-focused. He emphasizes straightforward communication and mutual respect as the basis for change.

His approach draws on several methods to fit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is applied to help people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them. Client-Centered ideas guide sessions that prioritize the person’s experience and goals.

Dr. Spaulding has long experience in settings that treat substance use and addiction, and he knows 12-step approaches from personal long-term recovery. That background informs work with addiction, relapse prevention, and related family and relationship impacts.

People who choose him can expect straightforward planning, short-term skills work when needed, and longer-term conversations about meaning and life direction. Before a first session he asks people to clarify their goals so meetings can focus on practical steps toward those goals.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then identify actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the person's own goals, letting the therapist shape sessions around what the client reports as most important.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will work with the client to try methods that fit their needs and goals, and adjust those methods as progress is reviewed. The first few sessions are often used to decide which mix of approaches feels most useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. It can also let people choose a quieter setting or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals tailor session length and focus to what someone can realistically sustain alongside everyday life.
