About Robert
Robert Frost is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in Minnesota with ten years of counseling experience. He has long experience working with people who face both mental health and substance use challenges together. He lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting, and related topics.
He draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage difficult feelings and make change. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills practice, and finding small steps that fit everyday life. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice and change unhelpful thinking, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotions feel overwhelming.
Mindfulness-based work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) appear in his approach to help people notice thoughts without acting on them. He also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s values and choices. Together these approaches support coping with relapse risk, impulsivity, and grief.
Robert’s background includes work in residential, home-based, and intensive outpatient programs. That experience shapes how he structures sessions and uses behavioral tools with people facing co-occurring mental health and chemical health concerns. He describes bringing humor and straightforwardness when it helps.
People reading about parenting or family strain will find his listed focus areas relevant to caregiving, fatherhood issues, and family problems. If you have specific questions about session format or what to expect, confirm current options before booking.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT and DBT translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take actions that matter despite difficult thoughts. It uses short experiments and values-based goals that can be practiced between sessions to support parenting, relationship stress, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that worsen mood or anxiety and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT work often includes homework such as thought records or behavior experiments that fit into daily routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive behavior. Skills such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation can be taught in brief, step-by-step segments and practiced outside sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match goals, needs, and personal preferences. That choice can shift as therapy progresses and as practical concerns arise.
Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and enable short check-ins when a quick reset is helpful. Mention any scheduling needs when you book so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
