About Robert
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with eight years of clinical experience and over 30 years working in human services, Robert Aerts focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes. He offers individual therapy and bases his work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy as appropriate.
Robert keeps sessions direct and practical. He uses clear, honest communication and adjusts his approach to the problem a person brings. If an issue is beyond his scope, he will discuss other resources or referrals that may fit better.
In a typical session he helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. He also uses storytelling techniques to reframe personal narratives and short-term, goal-focused strategies to create immediate changes. This mix aims to address symptoms and the stories that keep them in place.
Robert has worked with a wide range of people across community and human services settings. That background informs how he responds to stigma and identity questions, including those affecting LGBT people. He emphasizes practical steps and small changes that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

How Robert applies therapy approaches in online sessions
Robert commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this method is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. Narrative Therapy is used to examine and reshape the personal stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, which can be useful for identity questions and grief. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on concrete, short-term goals and small steps that produce quick, practical changes.Finding the right method is part of the work. Robert will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which approach or combination to try and adjust it as needed over time.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, or offer a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Discuss scheduling, session length, and technical preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit into everyday life.
