About Robert
Robert Theriault is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Delaware with 24 years of experience. He works with adults facing relationship strain, family problems, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, and life transitions. Robert prefers a direct, goal-focused style while keeping judgment out of the room.
He adapts his approach to the person in front of him rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions may include talking through patterns in relationships, identifying thoughts that fuel strong emotions, and learning small practical skills to reduce reactivity. He also brings breath and movement practices into work when they fit the person's preferences.
Robert has used a range of clinical ideas over the years, including psychodynamic and experiential perspectives alongside cognitive and family-based work. That variety gives him options for addressing attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and blended family dynamics. He often looks at how early family of origin patterns play out in current relationships.
For people struggling with anger or control issues he focuses on what happens just before and after an outburst. That can mean spotting thinking errors, changing unhelpful behaviors, and practicing other responses in session. He also supports people dealing with intimacy problems, parenting strain, and career-related stress.
Robert uses client-centered methods and draws from cognitive behavioral, existential, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing approaches. He encourages clear goals and regular check-ins about progress. If someone wants help, he asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to set their own goals. In practice that means the therapist follows the client's concerns, reflects what is said, and helps prioritize what to work on first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different responses, and test small behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety.
Existential Therapy invites people to talk about meaning, responsibility, and choices when life feels empty or directionless. This can help with grief, identity questions, and coping with major life transitions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match the client's goals, preferences, and the practical issues they bring. That collaborative planning can be revisited as goals shift.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people prefer this for convenience, while others use it to keep appointments consistent during life changes.
