About Robert
Robert Wubbenhorst is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, sleeping problems, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
He also focuses on areas such as blended family issues, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, disaster-related coping, divorce and separation, domestic violence, emptiness, family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, men's issues, midlife crisis, and compassion fatigue. With 15 years of practice, Robert draws on a range of therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person.
He uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based strategies, and he also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy and hypnotherapy when appropriate. His approach emphasizes helping clients recognize long-standing patterns, reconnect with inner strengths, and build practical tools for moving through difficult issues.
Based in Vermont, Robert presents therapy as a collaborative process that balances support with skill building. He encourages straightforward conversations about fit and progress, and he helps people explore ways to find peace about the past while opening toward hope for the future.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care
Robert integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through skill-based exercises that often include practical homework; it is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own problem-solving and growth, which can help with issues like self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when emotional regulation, impulsivity, or relationship problems are central concerns. DBT provides concrete strategies for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and enhancing interpersonal effectiveness in day-to-day life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful and pragmatic for the client.
Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which increases flexibility for scheduling and lets people engage in care in the ways that feel most manageable. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care despite geographic or scheduling barriers.
