About Robert

Dr. Robert Cipriano Jr is a licensed psychologist practicing in Florida. He has 20 years of experience working in clinical settings and public safety environments. He commonly sees people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, addictions, relationship concerns, and self esteem struggles.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. More recently he has offered Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method aimed at reducing trauma-related symptoms. He has worked in trauma-focused hospital units and inpatient behavioral health settings, supporting patients through crisis and recovery.

Much of his work has been with public safety personnel and first responders. He has led critical incident stress debriefings and helped develop wellness programs for police departments. That background informs how he approaches high-stress and trauma-related cases in clinical work.

Dr. Cipriano has also provided therapeutic support after mass trauma events and has assisted victims and responders affected by the Parkland school shooting. He has experience training professionals about active shooter dynamics, school violence, and bullying prevention.

He holds psychologist licenses in California and North Carolina in addition to practicing in Florida. His practice blends practical techniques with experience from crisis work to help people manage symptoms, rebuild routines, and work toward clearer goals.

How CBT and EMDR Work in Online Therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical exercises, straightforward goal-setting, and homework to build new habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an approach used to address trauma-related symptoms. It involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity and improve coping with trauma triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, symptoms, and preferences and collaborate to choose methods that fit your needs. Treatment plans can combine elements of CBT and EMDR when appropriate and paced to your comfort.

Session logistics should fit into your everyday life. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, fit sessions into a workday break, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and paced trauma work to an online setting while focusing on practical steps you can use between sessions.
