About Robert
Robert Peterson, LICSW, brings 30 years of practice to people dealing with low self-worth and related struggles. He has a calm, practical style that focuses on building coping skills and clearer ways of thinking. He writes plainly and helps people take small steps toward feeling more capable at home, at work, or in relationships.
He spent much of his career working internationally with children and adolescents who faced cultural displacement and isolation. That work sharpened his ability to help people of different backgrounds manage stress, grief, trauma, and big life changes. He uses approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and strengthening practical problem-solving skills.
Sessions tend to emphasize skill building, cognitive restructuring, and short-term goal work. He blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed tools to help people notice patterns and try new responses. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Robert is experienced in helping with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, and issues around identity and intimacy. He also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, aging concerns, autism spectrum issues, and the fallout from disaster or separation.
He practices in Washington as a licensed independent clinical social worker. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, confirm current session options so you know which formats are offered.
