About Robert
Robert Wubbenhorst is a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 15 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. He frames work as a partnership where the client’s goals guide each session.
Clients can expect conversational, down-to-earth sessions that focus on breaking unhelpful patterns. Robert blends approaches to match what each person needs. He uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices when appropriate.
Robert’s background includes many settings such as community mental health, higher education, and private practice. He has experience with crisis intervention and suicide prevention, and has supervised graduate interns and post-masters clinicians. That variety informs a flexible style that aims to be useful in day-to-day life.
In sessions he helps people learn concrete skills for managing emotions, improving sleep, and responding differently to stress. He also supports those coping with career change, chronic illness, first responder stress, midlife transitions, and relationship challenges. Work may include short skills practice, thought-pattern shifts, or guided relaxation techniques.
Robert invites straightforward conversation about fit and progress. If something isn’t working, he encourages honest feedback so plans can change. His goal is to help clients feel more grounded and able to move forward at their own pace.
How specific methods translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead to identify goals and next steps. It helps people who need a calm space to sort feelings and find what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. It often uses short exercises and homework to build new habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and managing interpersonal difficulties. Those skills can be useful for anger, impulsivity, relationship strain, and mood instability.
Finding the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on how helpful they prove to be. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and realistic.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people choose whether they want video or a different arrangement when those options are offered. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered work, and DBT skills to an online setting so the work stays practical and focused on daily life.
