Robert Skuy

Robert Skuy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings over 12 years of experience to his practice in Oklahoma. He has worked in education, developmental disability services, and state systems such as Adult Protection Services and Child Welfare. He offers individual and family therapy with a calm, nonjudgmental approach.

His background includes supporting people with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and challenges linked to child welfare involvement. He has long experience working with developmentally disabled adults and has supported those facing emotional and physical abuse. He mentions work with parenting and blended family concerns as part of his practice.

Robert emphasizes a flexible, person-focused style. He does not like labels and adapts his methods to each person. He uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness ideas when appropriate. He has also applied play therapy techniques with adults at times.

He notes that reaching out for help is hard and says the first step is often the most meaningful. Sessions focus on listening without judgment, practical suggestions for conflicts, and building a plan to address the problems that brought someone in. He also makes clear he does not provide Christian-based therapy or spiritual practices such as Bible-based counseling or prayer.

People who value a steady, experienced clinician who keeps learning may find his style helpful. He works with a broad range of concerns including anger, grief, self-esteem, panic, workplace issues, and post-traumatic stress. International clients may be accepted; confirm current options when booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It creates space for someone to talk and be heard, which can help with relationship problems, self-esteem, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. It often helps with anxiety, panic, depression, and workplace stress by giving tools to manage reactions and reframe unhelpful thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and situations where practical coping strategies are needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and needs. That plan can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is difficult, and video sessions let the therapist and client use visual cues during conversation. Discuss options with the therapist to find what fits day-to-day life best.
