01About Robert
Dr. Robert Hanser offers practical, down-to-earth counseling for adults facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma, mood struggles, and major life shifts. He writes and talks plainly so people can quickly know if his style might fit.
He works from Louisiana and has 25 years of experience as an LPC - licensed professional counselor. Hanser shapes each session around what the client wants. Some meetings focus on listening and reflection.
Others use more direct feedback and structured tools to change thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
He brings experience helping people cope with substance use, domestic violence, grief, career stress, and the fallout from traumatic events. He also supports those wrestling with meaning, midlife questions, and relationship breakdowns. Therapy may include talk-based, cognitive exercises, or targeted trauma work that looks at painful memories and how they affect daily life.
He uses several approaches and picks the ones that match a person’s goals. Sessions are aimed at clear, useful outcomes like managing anger, reducing anxiety, improving intimacy, or finding a better day-to-day routine. He emphasizes straightforward options and concrete steps people can try between meetings.
People who prefer a mix of warm listening and practical guidance often find his style helpful. He accepts clients from outside the U.S. and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete an online questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and uses reflective listening to help someone feel heard and seen. Online sessions let a therapist follow the client’s pace and focus on what matters most in the moment, which is useful for relationship work and life direction concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions CBT can include daily skill practice, thought records, and short behavioral experiments that the client tries between meetings.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a structured method for reducing the impact of traumatic memories. Parts of EMDR can be adapted to video work, allowing people to process distressing experiences without traveling to an office.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and comfort level, and then recommend methods to try. Sessions can shift over time as goals change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep face-to-face interaction when it's helpful. Phone sessions can fit short check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support quick reflections, ongoing check-ins, and maintaining momentum between longer appointments.
