About Robert
Robert Wubbenhorst is a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 15 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and related concerns. He offers direct, plainspoken support for issues like trauma, self-esteem, addictions, grief, and sleep problems. People come to him when life feels stuck or overwhelming and they want practical ways to change patterns.
He uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what keeps a pattern going and learning clear skills to respond differently. Robert emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and he helps map steps to reach them. His background includes work across community mental health, higher education, and independent practice settings.
That range has included individual and group counseling and supervising other counselors. Over his career he has supported people facing crises, suicide risk, and complex life transitions. In sessions he draws on client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques.
He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and hypnotherapy when those fit a person's goals. The work blends skill building, focused conversation, and practical strategies to help people gain relief and move forward. Robert aims to make the process straightforward.
He respects honest feedback and encourages people to try a few sessions and see how it feels. If a different path would help more, he supports finding the right next step.

Approaches that translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring the session to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarify personal goals before learning new skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be helpful when strong emotions or impulsivity are a concern.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to prioritize and how to measure progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life and to continue work between appointments.
