About Robert
Robert Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 40 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. He also addresses a broad set of related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, chronic illness and pain, and guilt and shame.
He focuses on plain talk and steady support in sessions. He helps people name what feels heavy and clarify how it affects daily life. He often works on communication skills and practical coping strategies that can be used between meetings.
Robert uses Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, choices, and responsibility. That can be useful when clients face life transitions, aging, illness, or questions about purpose and values. He encourages direct reflection about the facts of a situation and the feelings that follow.
He is comfortable discussing matters connected to faith or spirituality if the client wishes, as well as secular perspectives. He aims to help clients sort through shame or guilt without moralizing, and to look at how those feelings shape decisions and relationships.
Sessions are grounded in clear, respectful conversation. Robert will work with each person to identify immediate steps they can take and longer-term questions to consider. The focus is on practical understanding and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

The therapist and client decide together which ideas and practices feel most helpful based on the client’s concerns and goals.
Confirm available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for more consistent check-ins. It can also let someone choose sessions that are audio-only or on camera depending on comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises from Existential Therapy for remote sessions so this work can continue even when meetings are not in person.
