I start with the assumption that every human being has a purpose and the ability to be a productive member of society. I believe that we all have an optimal self and that it is helpful to have someone act as a mirror and a support to keep moving toward that optimal self. I primarily utilize the practice of neuropsychotherapy, although this approach leaves room for most other theories under its umbrella. My approach often employs the theory and techniques of Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, Adlerian, and Existential therapies. I believe in a healthy mind, body, and soul, and in that vein, I provide counseling in spiritual matters tailored to each client’s personal beliefs. I am proud of my formal education, and I obviously could not do this work without it. However, the key to my ability to help others has always been the education I’ve garnered through my own life experiences. I draw on both of these influences as appropriate.

Hi, my name is Robert Barrett and I have been licensed in Florida as a clinical social worker (LCSW) since 1996. For more than 30 years I have provided counseling and psychotherapy for clients for a wide range of issues including: anxiety, depressed mood, relationship concerns, personal stress, job stress and other difficulties. As a state of Florida certified sex therapist, I am qualified to provide counseling for problems related to sexual function and sexual behavior issues. I have a Master of Social Work degree from Florida International University in Miami, FL, and post-graduate training as a clinical sexologist. I am the past clinical director of Southwest Florida Employee Assistance Program and the past Program Director for Human Services Foundation of Lee County. For ten years I was the student behavioral health counselor at Florida Southwestern State College, Punta Gorda campus. I have been a clinical member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy since 2001. In counseling I utilize a “strength-based” approach known as solution-focused brief therapy. SFBT is based on helping you build solutions by focusing on your current circumstances and your hopes for the future. I also integrate concepts of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) for identifying the underlying thought patterns that may be contributing to psychological distress. My focus is to help individuals and families navigate life’s sometimes arduous transitions, and my style is to offer a sincere interest in assisting clients get through difficult challenges.

Life isn’t always easy, and I’m not here to promise quick fixes or a “perfect” ending after just a few sessions. What I can promise is a genuine partnership rooted in understanding, empathy, and actionable solutions to help you feel better and move forward. You’re the expert of your own life and I’m simply here to guide, support, and collaborate with you as we navigate this very human experience together. Here’s what I bring to the table, 13 years of professional experience as a licensed therapist, my personal journey as an empty nester and older millennial, and my love of holistic practices like walking in nature or soaking up the calm of the ocean (a perk of being a native Floridian). I specialize in helping clients work through grief, loss, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence struggles, career transitions, life changes, and executive coaching. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and take those first steps toward change. If you’re willing to be open, honest, and transparent, I’ll meet you with compassion, expertise, and unwavering support. Together, we’ll work toward a version of your life that feels more balanced, empowered, and authentically you.
