About Robert
Dr. Robert Spaulding II is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 37 years of experience in mental health. He works with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting, and other life stressors people bring from their family backgrounds.
He uses straightforward, interactive sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps to change patterns that started in childhood or family life. He draws from client-centered listening alongside cognitive and behavioral skills during sessions.
Dr. Spaulding also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when they fit a person’s goals. He references deeper, Jungian ideas at times to help people reflect on recurring roles and meanings that come from their family of origin. Sessions often mix talking, skill practice, and real-world tasks between meetings.
His background includes long experience in outpatient and inpatient settings and work with substance use issues over many years. That experience informs how he talks about coping, relapse prevention, and support systems without relying on any single model. He also brings work on adoption, attachment, blended family concerns, and caregiving stress into clinical conversations when relevant.
People who come to him for family of origin problems can expect direct feedback, clear goals, and an emphasis on practical steps. He asks about current difficulties, family history, and what changes the person wants to make. From there he helps build a plan and checks progress as therapy continues.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and long-standing patterns linked to family roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship so people can try out new ways of relating and behaving.Picking an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend one or a mix of methods. That choice can change as progress is tracked and as new needs emerge.
