Dr. Robert Cipriano Jr

Dr. Robert Cipriano Jr combines practical therapies with two decades of clinical work. He is a licensed psychologist practicing in Florida and brings a straightforward style to sessions. He aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, and the strain that follows major life events and disasters.

He mainly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In recent years he has also used Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method many people choose when trauma symptoms are present. Sessions typically involve clear goals, skill practice, and steps to reduce distress over time.

Much of his experience has been in high-stakes settings. He has provided support to trauma intensive care and inpatient behavioral health units, and he has run many critical incident stress debriefings for staff. That background informs his practical approach to crisis, grief, and first responder stress.

He has worked alongside law enforcement in crisis negotiation and helped develop wellness programs for public safety agencies. He also offers training on recognizing warning signs related to school violence and active shooter dynamics for clinicians and institutions.

Dr. Cipriano holds psychologist licenses in California and North Carolina in addition to his Florida practice. He works in English and focuses on measurable steps toward improving day-to-day functioning and coping after traumatic events or major life changes.
