About Robert
Dr. Robert Cipriano Jr is a licensed psychologist with twenty years of clinical work. He practices in Florida and holds psychologist licenses in California and North Carolina.
He focuses on practical help for people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, addictions, depression, and parenting concerns. He commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a short-term approach that helps people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. More recently he has provided eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, which is used with people coping with trauma symptoms.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at clear goals such as better sleep, less reactivity, and improved relationships. His background includes work in trauma-focused hospital settings and inpatient behavioral health units in northern Miami-Dade County. He has delivered many critical incident stress debriefings and has supported first responders and staff after difficult events.
This experience shapes how he responds to crisis and high-stress situations. He has worked alongside law enforcement in crisis negotiation roles and has helped develop wellness programs for public safety personnel. That work involved building supports for sworn and civilian staff and advising on organizational wellness strategies.
He has also provided therapeutic support after community tragedies and contributed to training on active shooter dynamics, school violence, and bullying. He writes and teaches about wellness and continuity of care across life roles.

Approaches Robert lists

CBT and EMDR adapted for online care
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. Online CBT sessions use conversation, homework tasks, and skill practice to target anxiety, mood, sleep, and parenting challenges. EMDR involves structured processing of traumatic memories using guided bilateral stimulation and careful tracking of distress; when used online it follows the same procedural steps with adaptations for remote guidance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses your goals and symptoms, then recommends CBT, EMDR, or a mix based on needs and comfort. Together you review progress and adjust methods as therapy moves forward.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face work and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat can support brief check-ins, and messaging suits ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and varying routines.
