About Robert
Robert Nijjar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, anger, and related concerns. He also supports people dealing with life changes, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Robert’s approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. He focuses on building understanding and acceptance as foundations for change. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical, with attention to everyday coping skills and decision points.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them. Robert also uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to help clients identify values and make incremental changes. Narrative therapy tools are woven in to help people reframe their stories when past events keep affecting present choices.
In session he aims to map where anger, control issues, impulsivity, or communication problems are showing up in daily life. He works on specific skills for handling triggers, reducing escalation, and repairing connection after conflicts. Coaching elements are used when clients want practical steps for career, life purpose, or behavioral change.
Robert accepts that change takes time and that small, repeated steps matter. He asks questions, listens to what matters to each person, and helps plan doable next moves rather than promising quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes when avoidance or control attempts get in the way.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills so moments of frustration or strong emotion are easier to observe. That steadier attention can reduce impulsive reactions and help with stress and relationship strain.
Motivational interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and on small, realistic steps toward change. It is often used when motivation is mixed, such as with addictions, impulsivity, or building new coping habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking how techniques feel in practice and adjusting them over time.
