Robert Worley

Hello, I'm a MSW, LCSW, LCAS-A in the great state of North Carolina with 6 years of professional work experience working as a Psychotherapist on an assertive community treatment team. My clinical orientation is grounded in evidence‐based, person‐centered, and trauma‐informed care, with a strong emphasis on helping clients build sustainable skills that promote long‐term autonomy and improved functioning. I integrate several complementary modalities—Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT‐I)—to tailor treatment to each client’s needs, readiness, and goals.

I like to use a client centered approach focusing on a person's strengths and autonomy. In sessions, I bring a calm, steady presence that helps people feel grounded and comfortable opening up. I’m very intentional about creating a space where you can talk honestly without feeling judged or rushed. I’m also someone who likes to be clear and practical, so you’ll always know why we’re doing something and how it fits into your goals. I have worked with individuals from all backgrounds with a variety of mood disorders and substance use disorders. Most have been successful if they are willing to engage and have the motivation to change. I’m a good fit for clients who want a structured, supportive approach to managing anxiety, healing from trauma, improving sleep, or making meaningful life changes. I work well with people who appreciate practical tools, clear guidance, and a collaborative style. If you’re looking to understand your patterns, build long‐term skills, and feel more in control of your day‐to‐day life, you’ll likely feel at home in my practice.

During the first session we’ll explore your goals, discuss what you’re hoping to change or understand, and review any symptoms or concerns you’re experiencing. I’ll also explain how I work—using evidence‐based approaches like CBT, Prolonged Exposure, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT‐I—so you know what therapy with me looks like. Once we both understand what the presenting problem or symptoms are, we will create a tailored plan to address the problems or symptoms we have identified to target.
