About Robert
Dr. Robert Cipriano Jr is a licensed psychologist who has practiced for 20 years. He works from Florida and brings experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and ADHD.
He uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of thinking and acting. More recently he has incorporated eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, known as EMDR, to help people with trauma-related symptoms.
Background and approach
Much of his background is working with high-stress settings. He has offered clinical services in trauma-focused hospital units and inpatient behavioral health, and he has led many critical incident stress debriefings for staff after difficult events. He has also provided support to first responders and to victims and families affected by large-scale incidents.
He has worked inside a metropolitan police department as a staff psychologist, advising crisis negotiation teams and developing wellness programs for sworn and civilian professionals. He has written about wellness and how maintaining it affects other parts of life. He also teaches about recognizing and responding to potential school violence and active-shooter warning signs for clinicians, schools, and public safety groups.
Dr. Cipriano holds psychologist licenses in California and North Carolina in addition to his Florida practice. He conducts sessions in English and offers several remote formats for people who prefer to connect from a distance.
Approaches and remote care for trauma and behavior change
Dr. Cipriano commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety, stress, or problematic behaviors. It often includes homework and practical steps between sessions to build new skills.He also offers EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is a method used to help people process and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories and related symptoms. EMDR sessions are aimed at easing the intensity of distressing images, sensations, and beliefs tied to past events.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend a path forward. Plans can change as work progresses, and the method is adjusted to match how the person responds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full-session exchanges and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in fits a day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, exercise prompts, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and can help people keep consistent work on goals.
