I am a licensed psychologist in the states of Washington and California with over 30 years of professional work experience. I am also a member of PSYPACT. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, coping with addictions, relationship concerns, and dealing with life changes. While my approach utilizes Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques, I'm primarily a Client-Centered psychologist. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first step toward a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Robert Lone. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Rob, is a special personality and remembers quite clearly things we’ve talked about from a long time ago - he has a very calm manner, doesn’t get offended ( but will communicate boundaries if need be ) and is enthusiastic and happy for our sessions. My only “criticism” of him is that he’s “too respectful” Lol, although I do see the value in that sometimes and am grateful looking back on our interactions for it. I certainly admire how positive he is as he must be dealing with clients with a lot of serious issues - thanks Robert!

Dr. Lone has been the most wonderful person to work with. He's an extremely good listener, and has very insightful perspective. It was very easy to have open, candid conversations and get at what I wanted to work on. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a therapist with a positive and relaxed nature.

Our marriage was hanging by thread before we started therapy with Dr. Lone. He was so easy to talk to and we were comfortable talking through our personal issues knowing there was no judgement. Dr. Lone taught us to communicate in a healthy manner about serious topics. Our marriage has never been stronger and I don’t think we would have done it on our own. Thank you, Dr. Lone for saving our marriage.
