Rob and I connect well. I think hes probably not right for everyone, and I think he would agree with that but as more stern person, he gets through to me in the way a more passive therapist would not.

Hello and welcome—I’m Rob Lugo, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering services to every corner of Indiana through secure online therapy sessions. For more than two decades, I’ve sat beside individuals, couples, and families as they rebuilt trust, quieted anxious thoughts, and rediscovered their sense of purpose. Before opening Lugo Counseling, I spent years as an elementary and middle-school principal. That experience sharpened my understanding of family systems and the day-to-day pressures families, couples and adolescents face—perspectives I draw on every time I meet with parents, teens, or couples.
What you can expect:
Collaborative conversations where your story leads the way. Therapy moves at a pace that feels safe and meaningful to you.
Evidence-based tools—DBT skills, CBT strategies, mindfulness. You leave each session with practical steps you can use immediately.
Whole-person focus on thoughts, emotions, body cues, and values. Lasting change happens when every part of you is invited into the process.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
