Robert Whiting, LCSW

Robert Whiting is an Arizona licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of professional experience. He works with adults who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, men's issues, midlife transitions, veteran concerns, mood disorders, panic, and process addictions.

In sessions he keeps the conversation direct and practical. He helps people name the patterns that cause distress and tries different ways to change them. That can include learning new coping skills, practicing mindful attention, or testing small behavior changes between meetings.

His work draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. He uses those approaches to help people notice what matters to them, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build skills to manage strong feelings.

Robert adapts the pace based on what each person needs. Some weeks focus on short, concrete skill-building. Other weeks focus on deeper themes like guilt, forgiveness, or life purpose. He asks practical questions and sets achievable steps so progress can be measured over time.

People who want straightforward guidance on direction, motivation, or coping after a life change may find his style useful. He works in English and practices in Arizona as an LCSW.
