Robert Theriault, LMFT

Robert Theriault is a licensed marriage and family therapist who offers a nonjudgmental, goal-oriented approach for people facing relationship strains and personal challenges. He commonly works with concerns like depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and intimacy-related issues, and he lists jealousy among his areas of focus. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear goals so people leave with something to try between meetings.

He draws on 24 years of experience and adapts methods to each person's needs. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors, reflecting on life meaning, or centering on the client’s own voice and values. He also integrates mindfulness and elements of motivational interviewing to support change and self-awareness.

Robert prefers plain talk and a collaborative process. He uses listening to understand patterns from family history, attachment, or past loss, then helps clients set realistic, short-term goals. Yoga is included at times as part of a broader self-care plan when it fits the client’s goals.

People often come for help with communication problems, commitment worries, and the fallout of abandonment or separation. He also offers support for parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Robert adjusts pace and focus to the problem at hand rather than following a single formula.

Located in Delaware, he is listed with credentials as LMFT for Delaware and North Carolina. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and choices. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps the client name priorities and next steps. This approach helps with relationship concerns, identity questions, and decisions where personal values matter.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear exercises and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns that feed jealousy or low self-esteem.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning and personal responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck after big life changes or who struggle with emptiness and questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their situation. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a workday, or reduce travel time. Ask about session length and frequency when you schedule so timing fits everyday life.
