Robert Wubbenhorst

Robert Wubbenhorst is a Vermont licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout of big life changes like divorce and separation. He approaches people who feel stuck, empty, or disconnected with patience and straightforward guidance. Robert invites clients to reconnect with their strengths and build tools for moving forward.

Robert uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. He draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to the individual. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns that keep problems stuck.

Across 15 years of practice he has worked in community mental health, higher education, and private practice. That background includes individual and group counseling and experience in crisis intervention and suicide prevention. He has supported people with trauma, severe mental health challenges, and those in first-responder roles.

Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress. Robert emphasizes clear goals, honest feedback, and skills you can try between sessions. He encourages people to be realistic about change while keeping sight of hope.

If someone wants to explore next steps, Robert asks them to start with an initial matching process and schedule a session. He values open communication and will talk through whether his style is a fit before moving forward.

Approach-driven online therapy options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to a person, helping them feel understood and supported while they set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change those patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping, useful when strong reactions make daily life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or combine approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use quieter surroundings and less screen time when that helps, and it supports continuing care when life circumstances shift.
