Robert Frost, LPCC

Robert Frost is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. He brings ten years of counseling experience and decades of work alongside people facing both mental health and substance use challenges. His style is direct but warm, using practical tools to help people manage day-to-day problems.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered methods to match what each person needs. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear in sessions when they fit the person's goals.

Robert has worked in residential, home-based, and intensive outpatient settings. That background shaped how he structures sessions and follows up with practical homework. He often combines talking, short exercises, and simple skills practice between visits.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, relationship and family issues, sleep trouble, anger, and career stress. He also helps with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and substance use problems.

Sessions aim to be compassionate and straightforward. Humor and a positive tone are used when helpful. Prospective clients start by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to therapist availability.

How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online

CBT helps people notice patterns of thinking that lead to stress or unhealthy behavior and then test different, more helpful actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and some types of impulsive behavior. ACT focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can help with grief, avoidance, and motivation. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person’s goals and pace, offering a listening stance that helps people feel heard and make their own changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Together they pick skills and practices that match the client’s needs, preferences, and daily routine.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls support a full session with visual cues, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth needs, live chat works for brief exchanges, and text messaging allows ongoing skill coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules.
