About
A steady hand through the hard seasons.
Robert Clark is a Dallas Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people find real relief through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — an evidence-based approach he pursued at the Beck Institute, where the method was developed.
Learning to suffer well
As an undergraduate at the Baptist College of Florida, Robert was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and told he had a thirty percent chance of survival. He went through chemotherapy and, eventually, a bone-marrow transplant that his brother donated.
He credits faith, family, and friends with his ability to “suffer well” and survive. That experience is the quiet foundation of how he sits with clients today: warm, steady, and without judgment, because he knows what it is to move through the hardest kind of season and come out the other side.
Robert earned a degree in Theology with a minor in Psychology, then chose Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary for his graduate work — a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling — for its grounding in both psychology and the Christian faith.
Why Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is an evidence-based approach where therapist and client work collaboratively toward shared goals. It often delivers results quickly and gives people durable, practical tools to manage symptoms long after therapy ends — which is why Robert has built his practice around it and continues his training with the Beck Institute to deliver CBT as designed.
CBT is the foundation, not the whole toolkit. Robert also draws on Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Gottman relationship therapy for couples — he is a Certified Level 1 Gottman therapist — matching the approach to the person in the room.
If any of this sounds like the kind of care you have been looking for, the simplest way to begin is a quiet, no-pressure phone call.
