About Robert
Robert Wubbenhorst is a Vermont Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people facing anxiety, stress, panic, depression, and trauma. He listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps to ease intense feelings and break repeating patterns. His approach is straightforward and aimed at restoring hope and forward momentum.
He keeps sessions focused on what matters now. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, learning breathing and grounding skills, and practicing new ways of responding to stressors. He uses a mix of talking therapies and mindfulness tools to build skills that fit day-to-day life.
Robert brings 15 years of clinical experience in community mental health, higher education, and private practice. That background includes work with veterans, law enforcement, and people in day treatment programs. He has also supervised graduate interns and clinicians pursuing licensure.
Clients who struggle with relationship strain, complicated grief, sleeping problems, or career stress can expect clear, practical guidance. He also supports people dealing with addictions, anger, and adjustment after major life changes. Sessions are designed to help people move out of feeling stuck and toward manageable change.
He encourages openness about what is and isn’t working and treats the therapy relationship as a collaboration. If a different direction is needed, he will discuss alternatives and next steps so clients can make informed choices.
Approaches for anxiety and practical online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to reduce panic and anxiety symptoms. It often involves practicing new responses outside of sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Together they will decide whether to focus more on skills training, mindfulness practice, or reflective conversation.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and allow people to join from their own routines. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler. Ask about specific session options when you schedule so you know what will work best for your situation.
