About Robert

Robert Roof is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with six years of clinical experience. He brings a down-to-earth, relational style to sessions and focuses on helping people cope with life changes, stress, anxiety, depression, and eating and food-related issues. He also supports clients with relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and trauma-related problems.

He practices in both private and school settings, offering individual counseling and coaching in K-12 educational environments. He emphasizes working alongside clients as equals, using conversation and reflection to uncover patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on steps that feel manageable.

His approach blends client-centered care with narrative and psychodynamic ideas. That means he listens for the stories people tell about themselves and looks at how past relationships shape present choices. He also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, effective changes and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.

Outside the office he spends winters guiding people through avalanche terrain and doing mitigation work while snowboarding. That background informs a calm, pragmatic attitude when addressing fear, risk, and recovery. He brings that steady perspective into therapy conversations.

People can expect a collaborative, straightforward process that balances emotional understanding with concrete goals. Robert aims to help clients find clearer direction, restore confidence, and build routines that support better sleep, healthier relationships, and more satisfying daily life.

How narrative and client-centered approaches work online

Robert uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, listening-first relationship where the client's concerns guide each session. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them.

He also draws on narrative therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their problems. That work can be useful for body image, family patterns, and identity questions by separating the person from the problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, trying practical, short-term strategies when needed and shifting to deeper narrative or psychodynamic work as appropriate. The process is collaborative and paced to the client's readiness.

Session formats are not listed in this profile, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue work with a licensed professional from a different part of the state when that matches scheduling needs.
