About Robert
Robert Roof is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common problems that affect life at home and work, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, trauma and issues around identity such as LGBT concerns.
Robert draws on client-centered and narrative approaches in session. He emphasizes a relational style that treats people as equals. Sessions focus on concrete steps and clearer communication rather than abstract theory. He uses solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to help people set and reach goals.
In practice he combines psychodynamic ideas about patterns with narrative work that helps people tell a different story about themselves. That means noticing repeated relationship patterns and gently questioning the stories that keep them stuck. He also brings pragmatic, goal-oriented tools when someone needs short-term problem solving.
Robert’s background includes school-based counseling in K-12 settings and private practice. He has experience supporting people through family-of-origin problems, blended family challenges, fatherhood issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and recovery after trauma or disaster events.
Outside of counseling he spends winters working in avalanche mitigation and guiding in the backcountry. That experience informs his work with clients who face high-stress jobs or first responder issues. He offers coaching-style support alongside traditional counseling when appropriate.
How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people who need a steady, respectful space to sort out relationship tension, parenting strain, or questions about identity. Narrative Therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves. In this approach the therapist helps people reframe dominant stories that keep them stuck, which can help with family-of-origin problems, attachment issues, and low self-esteem. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robert will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. He uses feedback and practical steps so sessions stay relevant and focused on real-life problems. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allowing shorter check-ins, sessions during a break at work, or avoiding travel time. That flexibility can help maintain momentum between appointments and make follow-up or coaching-style sessions easier to schedule.Areas of focus
