Robert Taibbi

My style is interactive, behavioral, and usually short-term. I'm curious about where and how clients get stuck in running their lives, solving their own problems. I focus on helping clients break dysfunctional patterns, take acceptable risks, and approach problems in a more flexible way. There's homework and new behaviors to try during the week. I have written 13 books on couple & family therapy, anxiety, depression & anger, brief therapy, clinical supervision, as well as over 300 articles. I write an online column for Psychology Today entitled Fixing Families and have provided trainings nationally. In my work with couples the focus is on communication skills, having a safe place to discuss sensitive issues, repairing the childhood wounds that everyone brings to a close relationship, changing patterns by making concrete changes in the present. With individuals I use a CBT approach focusing on helping you learn to control your thoughts and emotions. Both my Psychology Today blog -- Fixing Families -- and my website, bobtaibbi.com, can give you a good idea of my interests, my approach, and my way of thinking. I offer both office sessions as well as long-distance & local sessions via phone / video. Feel free to contact me with questions or for more information.
