Robert Gamboa, LPC

Robert Gamboa, LPC, offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship strain. He aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through intense emotions and learn new ways to handle everyday problems. His approach is practical and focused on what helps day to day.

Gamboa draws on client-centered ways of working that put the person's experience first. He uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals. These approaches are often used together to address mood concerns, addiction history, and challenges tied to identity or culture.

He has five years of professional experience and holds the LPC credential, practicing in Georgia. He has worked with people who identify as LGBTQ+ and with those who have faced discrimination or multicultural stressors. He also has experience supporting adults with past addiction and people connected to the military community.

In sessions he pays attention to communication patterns, impulsivity, feelings of shame, and problems like isolation or parenting strain. The work tends to blend listening, gentle challenge, and concrete steps clients can try between meetings. Progress is guided by the client’s pace and goals.

People considering therapy are invited to begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on the therapist's availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, so people can adjust as their needs change.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person is feeling so they can feel heard and start to make sense of their experience. It helps with anxiety, depression, and relationship stress by centering the client's perspective.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people weigh their own reasons to change and build momentum. It is useful for substance use concerns, ambivalence about change, and setting personal goals.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. It works well for coping with everyday habits and for quick wins that build confidence.

Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they check progress and adjust the plan as work continues.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It can also make scheduling around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities simpler, while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
