About Douglas
Douglas "Rob" Hodapp approaches therapy through practical, evidence-informed methods with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral strategies.

Rob is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with six years in clinical practice and more than three decades of experience in human services working with people with various disabilities.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building. It is often used for problems like anxiety, depression, stress, and workplace difficulties by helping clients develop tools to manage symptoms and make concrete changes.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens and reflects to help the person explore feelings and values. This approach supports self-directed growth and can help with issues like self-esteem, life purpose, and coping with major life transitions.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their concerns, goals, and preferences, and then adapt techniques from one or more approaches to suit those needs. Over time the plan is reviewed and adjusted so the work stays aligned with progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers scheduling flexibility and easier access for people managing busy lives or mobility challenges. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and receive support from a licensed professional in ways that fit daily routines.
