About me
My name is Robert but I go by Chip and I intend to counsel from a non-judgmental yet goal oriented focus. I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in the states of North Carolina and Delaware. I have extensive experience working with adolescents in individual and family therapy, intensive in home therapy and spent ten years of my career working at a group home facility with mostly Department of Social Services children helping them resolve significant past trauma and abuse. I have experience in various treatment models but I personally modify my theoretical approach to best fit the individuals need. I personally believe in a holistic approach to self care and include yoga in my practice toward self congruency.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Robert Theriault. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Robert is a professional and his expertise is helping me navigate life at a time I need emotional assistance the most. He's kind, patient and follows with genuine care and respect. I highly recommend Robert as my experience with him so far has been great.
Listens well. Offers sound advice. Hears both sides and reaches reasonable agreements for both parties

Robert Theriault has been a superb help with several behavior problems I have experienced. I sincerely recommend his sage advice to all with psychological help needs.
He put me at ease.
Robert was great, he really helped the both of us see different perspectives that allowed us to move forward in a healthy direction we were wishing for.
Robert is professional, kind and attentive to the needs of my wife and I.
Excellent listener. Great leader of discussion. Asks important and difficult questions. Looking forward to continuing therapy with Chip!
Robert (Chip) is awesome and exactly who we needed! He hears us both out and helps each of us understand where the other is coming from in difficult situations. He is great and super personable too. Talking with him makes it easier to break down issues and make progress. We’ve already seen a ton in the short time meeting with him.
Experienced and thoughtful counselor. He is someone who is really there to help and give practical advice.
Solid therapist, highly recommend to anyone dealing with their own insecurities
He’s straight forward and to the point, he listens even when I’m rambling but usually there’s an end point in there somewhere, lol . Thank you Robert.
Chip (Rob) is awesome. In some of the hardest times in my life, he has always been supportive and giving of knowledge. I navigated my life thanks to him and made it out of some of my darkest times. I will always stay in touch with him as long as he is practicing.
I cannot say enough good things about this therapist. He truly listens to my issues and concerns. More importantly, he has created a path that is helping me resolve my challenges in a way I am comfortable with that is true to my personality. He doesn't talk 'at' me but is a terrific sounding board that helps me really hear and understand myself and work out what I really want. 5 stars!
My conversations with Chip could not have come at a better time. His honesty with care since day one has helped bring me to an awareness of my situation that I'm not sure I would have handled as delicately without him. I would highly recommend Chip as a therapist you can count on.
Robert is an excellent listener and source of guidance.
Robert or "Chip" is a patient and kind man that is helping me to my goals. I don't feel I am being judged for the thoughts or experiences I have.
Chip has been amazing so far. He is helping me reconcile things that I needed help with. I really enjoy working with him, and I look forward to continuing our sessions.
Great!!
Robert is great! HE’s helped us thru a lot.
Robert has been excellent and there for me during every step of my journey
Chip is a great listener! He is very attentive to our needs in therapy. I would recommend him to any family struggling
Chip has been amazing. I've been seeing him for almost 2 years now and have come to value his advice and guidance more than any other therapist I've ever had. He's incredible and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Robert goes ABOVE and BEYOND what anyone would want of a therapist. He’s a wonderful listener, and also is able to steer you in the ritht direct quickly, and effectively. It only took me one session to explore what I truly needed to understand about myself to move towards a happier future. Thanks again !
Outstanding.
Chip is a therapist almost as if without being a therapist. What i mean by that is i don’t feel a weird stigma or like I’m entering the door to the whole “the doctor will see you now” experience. Each session has felt like a casual conversation one has with their friend at a bar. Obviously in this case Chip is the one encouraging you to do the right and most sensible thing rather than the impulsive. These last 3 sessions have done wonders for my internal and external aspect to my life and i look forward to our future progress.
Robert is a phenomenal therapist. I have already reached goals beyond what I expected with my therapy. Highly recommended, and a genuinely good guy with whom chatting feels comfortable and natural.
Robert is a great active listener who finds the points and helps you move towards the right goals and decisions that will help you with your past and lead to a great idea for the future
He is a phenomenal therapist and he is truly genuine, and very articulate . In the few short times we have conversed I have felt we have made considerable progress
Chip has been a great resource, listener, expert and advisor. I genuinely feel he has been supportive understanding and at times the voice of reason and lesson. I would recommend Chip to anyone in search of support.
We love working with Chip, he is so great! Hands down, the best therapist I've ever had.
Attentive and thoughtful.
Robert listens and is understanding of both involved with wise observation. Thank you Robert for God's blessing on your life
Chip is really great :) He listens attentively, but also pauses me to make sure he understands what I’m saying. Our conversations are productive and helpful!!
Thanks for your support!
We are so grateful for Roberts support and help.
Robert has Been patient and awesome through our process of therapy in relationship counsel
I’ve had more progress with Robert than almost any other therapist I’ve had in the last 20 years. He’s honest, respectful, and responsive. He asks some of the best questions— ones that encourage me to be honest with myself about my own wants and needs. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for honest and compassionate therapy.
Chip is the best therapist I’ve had. He calls me out on my junk and holds me to the commitments I make to him and to myself. He’s the absolute best.
He was straight forward and was able to open my eyes to things I was over looking or gave me a different perspective without tearing me down. He was great with positive reinforcement and very quick to respond to messages.
Thank you Chip for all of your help!
Chip is kind, a really good listener, and asks inspire questions to help untangle confusion. He is bold, and his boldness is kind. He’s helped me rewrite negative thought patterns, recover from addiction with mindfulness, work through social anxiety, and see life through new eyes. I am better because I applied what he taught me, and I will continue applying his counsel for life. My relationships have more love, understanding, compassion, patience, confidence, and more. Chip, thank you forever.
A wonderful and helpful person. Would highly recommend.
Chip, is the best! Highly recommend.
Very easy to talk to, and a fantastic listener. He knows the questions to ask, as well as how and when to ask them. 10/10.
Robert "Chip" Theriault has been such a gift to our family. He navigates our sessions with empathy, graciousness and insightfulness that has helped us grow as individuals and as a couple. We look forward to our sessions each week, and learn a lot about ourselves and how we can improve and grow. I have never felt more hopeful.
We have had only 2 sessions so far with Robert and he made us both comfortable to be open. I am positive that he will get us on the right track again. Thank you Robert.
Kind, caring, thoughtful.
Robert is the best! Hands Down!
Robert has been fabulous as he has helped me work through many issues.
Robert has been great. In just two sessions my wife and I are communicating much more effectively. I look forward to continuing for a while.
Robert has been great so far! In the two sessions I’ve had with him I’ve felt comfortable and end with a positive note. Looking forward to the next meeting.
Chip is great. He is an excellent listener and is very thoughtful and deliberate in the comments he makes. He is a perfect fit for someone who is introspective, honest with himself and willing to do the work even when it is tough. Do not expect instant connection or progress. After 6 sessions we are just starting to hit our stride. Be patient and it will pay off in the long run.
I like Chip so far!
Always has a thoughtful approach to issues and allows me to share before trying to “fix” me
I Appreciate Chip’s input and compassion. He is straight forward and already with one session has helped me to rethink some ways I was viewed things. He is quick to respond to my messages and in that shows his desire to help!
great guy!
Enjoyed
Calm demeanor and great listener with timely suggestions. Has been instrumental in helping me sort out and organize my thoughts around relationships
Robert is a very good listener. He threads the needle very well with challenging you, suggesting things you may not have thought of, but also being very receptive to your rationale of why/how a situation might be different than his initial read. I always have a clearer understanding of my own thoughts and feelings after talking to him, and usually a few added ideas for how I can stay ahead of or divert incoming issues.
I’ve had a great experience with Chip. He is super emphatic, caring and smart. He has helped and allowed me to process my thoughts and feelings by providing a supportive environment.
Thoughtful and insightful therapist with an easy going demeanor. Very helpful and easy to talk too.
Robert is the best therapist I’ve had. He listens and respects my life style
Robert is insightful and genuinely interested in positive outcomes.
Good encouragement
Robert is a fantastic, supportive, inquisitive, empathic therapist. I have seen great positive improvements in my confidence and mental health since working with him.
Great experience
He is great and listens well. He is reassuring to make sure you are not being too hard on yourself.
Good listener. Asks challenging and probing questions
He listens and gives great advice
My son responds well to Robert and looks forward to his individual session.
He doesn’t sugar coat anything and tells me what I need to hear not want to hear.
thanks for helping me work through creating better boundaries. I like the fact that I get to think through things with someone and then actually implement the things I learn.
I have found his advice to be very helpful.
I've been a member for about a month, after trying other kinds of similar therapy companies. I almost gave up after having unresponsive therapists who insist on video chat over any kind of session.
Robert however is kind, patient, honest and almost always available. He respects my choice of chat therapy, and respects my social anxiety issues. One day I may be able to switch to video to get more out of our sessions since I recognize I lose some time with texting but this right now is ideal. I'm never uncomfortable, and I feel confident in our sessions and can be open and honest.
I look forward to my sessions, instead of dreading them.
Robert is a gem, hold on to this one.
He is super warm and personable. Listens when he should, guides you where you need, and offers insight when it helps. I got so lucky when I was matched with him. Very intelligent, very caring, and fun to talk to. He has helped me so much.
Very grateful to have been matched with Robert Theriault. He actively listens and offers considerate and pertinent insight to issues, without judgement, but with genuine care. He is very responsive, and creates a safe space for open communication. Very impressed with his ability to identify and highlight concepts that are incredibly beneficial and appreciative of his positive reinforcement and encouragement. Highly recommend!
The experience that I've had thus far is beyond my expectations. I had hesitations about reaching out to an online company, but thankfully I was extremely wrong. Robert Theriault has been a highlight of my life in the past few weeks. He is very knowledgeable and caring. Please do not hesitate to contact these wonderful people. They are truly there for you.
I knew we were going to be able to work together the minute he didn’t freak out and overly pathologies how sick I was when we first talked.
Right out of the gate my distortions were challenged and I was given space to find where the heck all of this was coming from in a kind, supportive and caring space.
I would for certain reach back to Robert again.
