About Roberto (BO) Hess

Roberto (BO) Hess, LCSW, is a licensed psychotherapist and psychiatric social worker who understands how hard it can be to ask for help when shame, embarrassment, or anger feel close to the surface. He recognizes that during difficult seasons, people can feel stuck in patterns that do not reflect who they want to be or how they want to live, especially when relationships and life pressures collide.

In therapy, Bo works as a steady mentor and guide, helping clients make sense of what they are experiencing and find practical ways forward when solutions do not come intuitively. He integrates psychoanalytic ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based strategies to support insight, emotional balance, and meaningful change.

Bo places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and aims to foster an environment where clients can feel safe and comfortable engaging in honest work. He views trust, honesty, and humor as important ingredients in building a collaborative partnership that supports progress over time.

Evidence-based tools, tailored for online work

Roberto (BO) Hess draws from several practical approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new responses, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, supporting people who feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in intense relationship cycles. Mindfulness Therapy helps clients practice staying present with thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, which can improve steadiness during difficult moments and daily transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bo collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not worked before, and choose strategies that fit the person, the pace, and the situation. The work can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent, get support in real time, and build momentum between sessions, whether someone is at home, traveling, or managing a demanding schedule.
