About Robert
Dr. Robert Hanser is a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana who helps people facing addiction, trauma, relationship strain, mood concerns, and life transitions. He has 25 years of clinical experience and uses a blend of practical talk therapy and techniques that reach beneath conscious thinking when appropriate.
He begins by listening and understanding each person's main worries. Sessions can be warm and exploratory or more focused and directive, depending on the person's needs and goals.
Background and approach
He aims to offer clear, concrete feedback and usable options rather than vague advice. His work often combines client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral methods to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on emotionally focused work to address relationship and intimacy issues and hypnotherapy when exploring subconscious patterns is helpful.
Dr. Hanser has long experience with addiction, domestic violence, veteran and armed forces issues, and trauma-related concerns. He also supports people navigating grief, career changes, parenting strain, and midlife reassessment.
He approaches difficult topics without judgment and keeps the focus on the person's welfare. In sessions he offers straightforward questions, reflective listening, and practical exercises people can use between appointments. He collaborates with each person to choose the approach that best fits their goals and circumstances.
If the described style sounds helpful, a simple intake questionnaire and scheduling step is the usual way to begin.

Approaches used online and what they involve
Hypnotherapy is used as a way to access patterns below conscious thought and can be helpful for habits, trauma-related reactions, and certain anxiety or addiction concerns. It typically involves guided relaxation and focused attention to work with underlying responses.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what a person says to create understanding and personal insight. This approach helps people feel heard and build confidence to make changes at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, addresses the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and tools to change unhelpful thinking and to develop new behaviors for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts methods over time. People often try a mix of techniques to find what fits best.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, homework discussion, or when written reflection feels more helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep regular contact between appointments.
