About Robert

Robert Lugo is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and low self-esteem. He practices in Indiana and offers sessions in English. He brings a calm, straightforward manner to conversations so people can speak honestly about what’s hard for them.

Robert often begins by listening to each person’s story and finding patterns that affect daily life. He uses Narrative Therapy to help people see how their life stories shape choices and feelings.

Background and approach

He also draws on acceptance-based and cognitive strategies to help with worry, mood, and impulsive behaviors. In sessions people can expect practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Robert helps clients build communication skills, manage anger, and cope with major life changes.

He also supports people working through grief, addiction concerns, career questions, and intimacy-related struggles. Over two decades he has worked with diverse issues such as ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, blended family challenges, codependency, infidelity, and fatherhood issues. Robert explains techniques in plain language and focuses on steps people can try between sessions.

He uses a collaborative style - clients set goals and he offers methods to reach them. Sessions are available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. New clients start by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.

Online session options

How narrative and acceptance-based work online

Robert often combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered techniques. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives and finding new meanings. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and emotions while choosing actions that align with personal values. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening and creating a calm space where the person leads the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robert treats approach choice as a conversation. He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy. Adjustments are normal as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits that many people find helpful. Video calls let the therapist and client see one another for fuller interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow ongoing connection between sessions and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and use techniques in real time while life is happening.
