About Robert
Robert Theriault is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Delaware with 24 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing anger, relationship strain, depression, anxiety, and other life stresses. He also helps people dealing with parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
He approaches therapy in a direct, goal-oriented way while keeping a non-judgmental stance. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps clients can try between visits. He uses a mix of clinical approaches and adapts them to each person's situation rather than following a single method.
Robert often draws on client-centered techniques to prioritize the client's perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior patterns. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing may appear in sessions to support focus and resolve ambivalence.
In practice he pays attention to family dynamics, attachment histories, and the ways past losses or abandonment affect current relationships. He includes discussions about career stress, substance use, and compassion fatigue when these are relevant to the client’s goals. Yoga is noted as part of his broader interest in body-based self-care.
People who want straightforward, practical work on anger, communication, or coping with life changes may find his style a good fit. He aims to create clear objectives, track progress, and adjust methods as needs change.
How his approaches translate to online work
Robert combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people manage anger and related problems. Client-centered work focuses on listening to the client’s experience and using that perspective to guide goals and decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns that lead to reactive behavior and practices new responses to reduce angry reactions.He also uses mindfulness techniques to bring attention to bodily and emotional cues that often precede outbursts. These techniques can help slow reactions and create space to choose different actions. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review what helps and adjust strategies over time.
If you plan to use online care, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions without travel time, or options that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, client-centered discussion, and mindfulness practices to remote formats, and Robert will help tailor the plan to your needs and schedule.
