About Robert
Rev. Robert Hotes is an Indiana Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of professional experience. He focuses on grief, career questions, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar-related concerns. He also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, multicultural concerns, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.
Robert uses a coaching-minded approach to help people clarify next steps after major changes. He encourages open conversation about what matters now and what feels stuck. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to immediate problems and to longer-term thinking about purpose and direction.
He creates space for people to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment and helps them name realistic goals. Robert will work with clients to map small actions that can change daily patterns around sleep, eating, or emotional regulation. He also supports people dealing with caregiver burden and end-of-life decisions, helping them sort priorities and options.
Across topics he aims to bring steady, straightforward guidance rather than quick fixes. He listens for what matters most to each person and suggests steps that fit their life. Robert accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
To begin he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Robert emphasizes practical, evidence-based techniques that help people move forward after change. A coaching-style approach clarifies priorities and breaks larger goals into small, doable steps; it often helps people who feel stuck after career or relationship changes. Problem-focused techniques concentrate on specific issues such as sleep, eating, anger, or caregiver stress by identifying patterns and testing small behavior changes that can improve daily functioning.Choosing the right method is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and try approaches that fit the person’s life. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most in real situations.
