LCSW
Bob, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), grew up just outside Kansas City, Kansas, and recently made Bowling Green his home in the spring of 2024. After spending most of his life and career in northern Kentucky, he’s excited to connect with and support individuals in his new community.
With more than a decade of experience in social work—including six years in clinical practice—Bob brings a compassionate and grounded approach to his work. He earned both his Bachelor of Social Work (2013) and Master of Social Work (2018) from Northern Kentucky University.
His career began in rehabilitation and jail-based programs serving individuals with substance and alcohol use disorders—a population that continues to hold a special place in his heart. Since then, Bob has supported clients across a wide range of settings, including inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient behavioral health, intensive outpatient programs, and individual solution-focused therapy.
Bob enjoys working with adults and older teens who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, substance or alcohol use, major life transitions, and general mental health difficulties.
At the core of Bob’s practice is a commitment to building a strong, genuine therapeutic relationship. He strives to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and understood, while also being continuously challenged to be better and better versions of themselves. His approach is down-to-earth and practical—balancing meaningful goal setting with deeper exploration of the patterns and experiences that shape each client’s journey.
Bob’s primary therapeutic modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based practices, strengths-focused techniques, and Person-Centered Therapy.
He looks forward to meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them as they work toward healing, clarity, and lasting change.
K&G COUNSELING REVIEWS
"Bob's counseling services are top-notch. He really gets it, you know? From dealing with anxiety and depression to sorting out relationship stuff and even tackling substance abuse, he's on it. What I appreciate most is how he blends in spirituality seamlessly. Bob's all about building trust and setting realistic goals while digging into the deeper reasons behind our struggles. It's like talking to a friend who's also a pro at this stuff. So, if you're looking for someone who's not just about fixing the surface issues but really understands where you're coming from, Bob's your guy. Highly recommend."
