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.

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.

Outstanding.

Written on Jan 04, 2023 after therapy with Robert for 4 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

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.

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 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.

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.

Calm demeanor and great listener with timely suggestions. Has been instrumental in helping me sort out and organize my thoughts around relationships

Written on Mar 16, 2022 after therapy with Robert for 3 months on issues concerning family conflicts, parenting issues, coping with life changes, and coaching

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.

Written on Mar 16, 2022 after therapy with Robert for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

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.

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.

Written on Aug 15, 2021 after therapy with Robert for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, and compassion fatigue

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.

Work with me!
