Healing doesn't take years. Sometimes it's just one conversation.

Robert Cushing, MSW, LCSW

What I can help with

Where the work actually lands.

I work with adults across Florida on the heavy, looping patterns that keep running long after the moment has passed.

Trauma & PTSD

This is where most of my work lives. The past is over, but the mind can keep responding as if it isn't.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a body preparing for something that isn't here.

Depression

Not sadness so much as flatness, distance, weight.

Grief & Loss

Grief is not a disorder and it is not something to be fixed. Sometimes it gets stuck.

Stress & Burnout

The stress response is supposed to fire and then finish. Burnout is what happens when it never gets the signal to stop.

You might be thinking…

Fair questions. Real answers.

These are the things people usually say to me on the free consultation, often in the first five minutes. Here's what I actually tell them.

Fair. I was skeptical of it too. RRT isn't magic and I'm not going to pretend it is. It's a different approach: instead of analysing the problem for months, we work directly with how your mind is holding the painful experience. That's why it often moves quickly. It doesn't work for every person on every issue, and I'll tell you honestly if I don't think it's the right fit.
Good. You shouldn't have to. A core piece of how I work is relief without reliving. You won't be asked to narrate the worst moment or drag yourself back into the feeling of it. We can do real work while you stay steady in the room.
No. Grief work isn't forgetting. The love and the connection stay. What eases is the sharp, stuck part that keeps flattening your days. Many people find they can hold the memory with warmth instead of being ambushed by it.
Because it's a different job. A lot of traditional therapy is about understanding the problem. That's valuable, and for some people it's enough. If you've done years of that and still feel stuck, it's usually not because you didn't try hard enough. Insight alone doesn't always change the reflexive patterns underneath. That's what RRT actually targets.

What if the mind could set it down without reliving it?

How RRT works

Relief that doesn't ask you to relive it.

RRT works with how the mind is holding a painful experience, without rehearsing the story again.

Instead of re-analysing session after session, we work with the reflexive charge underneath. Direct. Conversational. Often lighter than people expect.

  1. A free 15-minute call

    We start with a short conversation. No intake paperwork. You tell me a little about what's going on, I answer your questions, and we see whether this is the right fit.

  2. A focused 90-minute session

    The work happens in a single 90-minute session, entirely online from wherever you're comfortable in Florida. It's conversational, direct, and often lighter than people expect.

  3. You stay in the driver's seat

    You won't be asked to relive the details or cry through your past. If something isn't working for you, we adjust in the room.

  4. We look at what shifted

    Toward the end, we notice together how a specific memory or feeling is sitting differently. Everyone's different, and we can keep working from there if it makes sense.

Rapid Resolution Therapy is a therapeutic approach, not a guarantee of specific results and not a substitute for medical care. Every person's experience is different and individual outcomes vary.

About Robert

From the coast of Pinellas County, a different way to work.

I grew up in coastal Pinellas County. It is the kind of place where you notice when someone's carrying more than they can hold.

That's what pulled me into clinical social work. I earned my MSW at Saint Leo University and got licensed as an LCSW in 2021.

So I built this practice around trauma resolution and Rapid Resolution Therapy, approaches that target the reflexive patterns underneath, not just the story on top.
