About Robert
Robert Lugo is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, and addictive behaviors.
He favors a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. He listens first and then works with each person to build clear skills for handling anger, panic, or mood shifts. Communication skills and managing impulsivity are frequent focal points in his work.
Background and approach
Robert uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. He draws on the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and reduce worry, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and client-centered methods also inform his practice when emotion regulation or a warm, nonjudgmental stance is helpful.
He has particular experience helping people through grief, career transitions, blended family challenges, and issues such as infidelity or commitment worries. He also supports those facing fatherhood concerns, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Sessions are offered in Indiana and conducted in English.
Robert emphasizes collaboration and practical steps so people leave with tools they can use between sessions.

Online support
Approaches and online options for building skills
Robert blends approaches so online work is focused and practical. The Gottman Method looks at patterns in close relationships and helps identify interactions to change, which can be used to improve communication and reduce recurring conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most to them, and take small steps toward those values when anxiety or stress gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches exercises to shift thinking and behavior across daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That means you can try a skill-based focus one month and pivot to values work or emotion regulation skills the next.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling easier for busy lives. Video sessions let you work face-to-face for role plays or demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to stick with while working toward clear goals.
