About Robert

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience in Louisiana. Robert Nijjar focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. He works with people who are struggling with parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are guided by approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy.

Robert frames therapy as a collaborative process. He starts by listening to what the person already knows about their life and what they want to change. Conversations are direct and practical. The aim is to build understanding and acceptance while identifying strengths that can be used in everyday situations.

He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Client-Centered Therapy is used to let the client’s perspective lead the work and shape goals. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who struggle with change, especially around addiction or stubborn habits. Narrative Therapy is brought in to examine how stories about oneself influence feelings and choices. Robert blends these methods to match each person’s needs rather than following a single script.

People seeking therapy are asked to consider what they want to address and be ready to try practical exercises between sessions. He encourages straightforward discussion about goals, obstacles, and small measurable steps toward change.

How his approaches translate to remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. In remote sessions this looks like setting clear, manageable actions and checking progress week to week. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities; the clinician follows the client’s lead and adjusts pacing to what feels useful. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and build focus during stressful moments.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the methods above and decide together which fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people keep consistency while they practice new skills in everyday life.
