Dr. Robert Balich

Dr. Robert Balich is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with twelve years of experience. He focuses on building a respectful, empathetic space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and related concerns. He aims to help clients find their own answers and practical ways forward.

Dr. Balich earned a master’s degree in counseling and a doctoral degree in Counselor Education and Supervision from the University of Wyoming. His background includes work with substance misuse, mood disorders, grief, and post-traumatic stress. He also lists experience with workplace issues, compassion fatigue, and loneliness.

Sessions are collaborative and nonjudgmental. He listens for what matters most to each person, then helps shape clear goals and manageable steps. Expect straightforward conversation and strategies you can use between meetings.

He uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy as part of his work. These methods are used to address patterns of thought and behavior, build coping skills, and set short-term, achievable goals.

People who want a thoughtful, steady guide through change or recovery may find his style helpful. He accepts international clients and meets with people who are dealing with grief, addiction, depression, relationship strains, or the isolation that can come with major life changes.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's perspective first. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters to the person, which helps when sorting through feelings like loneliness, grief, or shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. That means initial sessions often focus on understanding the problem and choosing a clear plan together.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. It can also let people work with licensed professionals from other locations when that is helpful.
