Robert Theriault, LMFT

Robert Theriault, who goes by Chip, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 24 years of clinical experience helping individuals and families navigate relationship struggles, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and other life obstacles. He brings a non-judgmental yet goal-oriented style to sessions, adapting therapeutic methods to fit each person’s unique circumstances and strengths.

Drawing on a range of theoretical perspectives including psychodynamic, experiential, family systems, and cognitive behavioral approaches, he tailors treatment plans to address the emotional and relational patterns that affect daily life. His work often focuses on improving communication, resolving family-of-origin issues, addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, and supporting recovery from addiction and compassion fatigue.

Robert values a holistic view of well-being and integrates practices such as yoga into his approach when appropriate to support personal congruence between mind and body. He emphasizes collaboration, helping clients set clear goals and take practical steps toward change. Robert aims to create a supportive space where people can explore difficult feelings and build skills for healthier relationships and greater emotional stability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Robert Theriault

Robert practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes understanding each person’s experience and building a collaborative relationship in which the client’s goals guide the work. This approach is helpful for people seeking stronger self-awareness, improved communication, and a respectful space to explore emotions.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be effective for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Robert works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time so treatment remains aligned with progress and changing circumstances.

Online therapy provides flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. Robert offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level while continuing consistent therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
