Robert Wubbenhorst, LCMHC

Robert Wubbenhorst is a Vermont-based Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and midlife crisis. He talks with clients about patterns that leave them feeling stuck or empty and works to reconnect them with their strengths. His approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people move forward with more hope and energy.

Bob draws on an integrative style that blends client-centered conversation with goal-focused methods. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work and dialectical behavior strategies to help change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. He also offers hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools when they fit a person’s goals.

With 15 years of experience, he has worked in community mental health, higher education, and private practice settings. That background includes individual and group counseling as well as supervision and training for other counselors. He has experience supporting people after trauma and those managing intense stress or burnout.

Sessions focus on clear, practical steps. Clients can expect to identify repeating patterns, practice new skills, and set small achievable goals between meetings. The tone in sessions is straightforward and collaborative, with an emphasis on honesty and personal agency.

How his approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. Online sessions using this approach emphasize open conversation, reflection, and helping clients identify their own goals and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to distress. In remote sessions CBT includes skill-building, homework between meetings, and exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for managing emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When used online, DBT can teach breathing, grounding, and emotion-regulation skills that clients practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to see which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made together.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Generally, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about the available session options and how they might fit into your daily routine.
