Prof. Robert Neve, LPC , LIMHP

Prof. Robert Neve often goes by Bob and brings 22 years of professional therapy experience to his work. He emphasizes that genuine care is the foundation of effective counseling and approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. His practice is informed by long personal and professional experience with recovery, including eight years in AA and NA and sustained sobriety since February 15, 1993, which he draws on when supporting people facing addictions, depression, anxiety, and related challenges.

He and his wife are both therapists and are happily married, and he has experience leading a mental health and substance abuse treatment center in Omaha's Dundee neighborhood. He speaks from a background that includes recovery, vocational and relational development, and practical life changes, including a personal weight loss of 85 pounds using Weight Watchers. That combination of lived experience and clinical work shapes his approach to coaching, career concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

Prof. Neve practices with techniques drawn from Motivational Interviewing and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and centers his work on helping people build new resources and make better decisions. He holds licensure as an LIMHP - a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - and also uses the professional title LPC. He invites people to explore change at a pace that feels manageable and to build on strengths they already possess.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action. It is useful for clients struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions because it focuses on building a life that reflects what matters most rather than getting stuck in avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more effective responses, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is handled collaboratively. Prof. Neve works with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy life, and access licensed professionals and therapists from wherever it is most convenient.
