About Robert
Robert Theriault is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of experience who presents a calm, nonjudgmental approach to care. He focuses on practical goals and helps people sort through relationship strain, depression, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and parenting or family tensions. Many clients come for help after loss, during major life changes, or when old patterns keep repeating.
He adapts how he works to each person rather than following a single method.
Background and approach
Sessions blend existential ideas about meaning and choice with client-centered listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit the person’s needs. Robert emphasizes real-world steps alongside reflection.
Conversations identify patterns, offer new ways to communicate, and build simple coping strategies for stress, anger, and self-esteem struggles. He also brings an interest in holistic self-care and may discuss breathing, grounding, or movement such as yoga when helpful. Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions.
The therapist helps set clear goals and tracks small changes over time. He aims to make work feel focused and useful even when issues are painful to face. Robert practices in Delaware as a DE LMFT and NC LMFT.
He conducts sessions in English and offers a range of online formats for people balancing busy schedules. The first steps are a short match questionnaire and scheduling a time to begin.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and the struggles people face in life. Online sessions using this perspective help people name what feels empty or uncertain and consider ways to live with more purpose and clarity.Client-centered therapy prioritizes listening and understanding. In remote sessions the therapist focuses on hearing each person’s story and reflecting it back so goals emerge naturally from what matters most to the client.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Over video or phone the therapist can introduce simple exercises, track progress, and practice new skills that reduce anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then try methods that fit the person’s needs in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits longer sessions and role play, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options aim to make regular work possible alongside busy lives.
