Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally exhausted? I help adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and ADHD through structured, supportive online therapy. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who feel pressure to “hold it together” while struggling internally.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 13 years of experience. I provide online therapy and am in-network with major insurance plans to make care accessible and practical.

Robert Soucy

Therapist

Virtual • Nevada


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and 18 years of experience in behavioral health and addiction services. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing substance use challenges, mental health concerns, life transitions, and personal struggles that can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who they want to be.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing addiction, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, men's issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. I am passionate about helping clients discover their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe that healing happens when people feel accepted, understood, and supported. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment where clients can explore their experiences without judgment. No matter how difficult things may feel today, I believe there is hope for growth, healing, and recovery.

I bring 20 years of experience as a social worker across a range of mental health settings, but individual therapy is where I feel most at home. I often work with people navigating life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, and that “stuck” feeling. I also use DBT-informed approaches to help build coping skills and emotional balance.
