About Robert

Robert Mccaskill is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 14 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, grief, and related issues. He also works with mood disorders, ADHD, and problems around intimacy, sleep, and eating.

Robert describes his approach as person-centered and humanistic. He treats adults as the experts on their lives and helps them name what matters. Sessions are practical and direct. He talks through what’s happening now and what small changes could help.

He uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thinking and to build workable habits. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help clarifying goals and staying motivated. Mindfulness techniques are taught to reduce reactivity and manage stress.

Robert has worked in community mental health and private practice. That background means he has experience with life changes like divorce, bereavement, and job loss. He has supported people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and other complex situations.

In sessions he focuses on practical steps toward feeling better and reclaiming balance. He may help identify childhood wounds that affect current behavior and guide conversations that shift relationships and daily routines. The work is aimed at clearer choices, improved coping, and steadier mood over time.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action aligned with those values, while teaching ways to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. This can help with anxiety, depression, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it in practical ways. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep or eating concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Robert will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and circumstances. He adjusts strategies based on how a person responds and what feels useful.

Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It also allows brief check-ins when a full in-person session would be difficult and can support steady progress between major life changes.
