About Robert
Robert Wubbenhorst is a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 15 years of experience. He helps people who feel stuck, empty, disconnected, or overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or anger. He also supports those dealing with depression, trauma, addiction, grief, sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or life transitions.
Robert uses practical, evidence-informed methods in session. He draws on Client-Centered principles to listen and reflect what matters to each person. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and impulsivity. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices are also available as tools when they fit a client's goals.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on clear skills and real-life problems. He helps people identify patterns that keep repeating and practices new ways of responding. Work may include short behavioral experiments, thought records, breathing and grounding techniques, or guided mindfulness and hypnotherapy exercises.
Robert's background includes work in community mental health, higher education, and private practice. That mix of settings means he is used to both short-term, goal-focused work and longer-term therapy when needed. He has experience with first responder-related concerns, veterans, and people dealing with chronic illness and blended family stress.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach rely on clear communication, checking in about practical concerns, and shaping the work around the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to notice and change thinking and behavior patterns. Online CBT often uses worksheets, thought records, and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Delivered online, DBT skills training can include guided practice, breathing and grounding exercises, and real-time coaching on managing intense emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and daily life. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting what is used as progress and preferences become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and making it easier to attend brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in the settings where problems happen, with the therapist providing guidance on how to use those techniques between meetings.
