My name is Robert but I go by Chip and I intend to counsel from a non-judgmental yet goal oriented focus. I have extensive experience working with individuals who are facing issues such as depression, love/loss, family issues, abuse, anxiety and other life obstacles. I have experience in various theoretical styles such as psychodynamic, experiential, family dynamics, cognitive behavioral and others and I modify theory and treatment approach to best fit your individual needs. I believe in a holistic approach to self care and include Yoga in my practice toward personal congruence. Thank you and I hope I can assist you with your life's journey.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very pleased with my therapist.

Understands my main concerns really well.

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.

Very understanding and kind, offers great wisdom to help me work through my issues.

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.

Chip, is the best! Highly recommend.

He is great and listens well. He is reassuring to make sure you are not being too hard on yourself.

Excellent listener. Great leader of discussion. Asks important and difficult questions. Looking forward to continuing therapy with Chip!

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

Robert Theriault is a good listener and offers insightful comment and advice...and is making a difference for me...

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 has been excellent and there for me during every step of my journey

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 !

Definitely helped me a ton with some stuff I was trying to get a better handle on. Kind, great listener, and really helps you through the problems

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

Attentive and thoughtful.

Thanks for your support!

Absolute best therapist I've ever had. I've made more progress in my year long journey with Chip than I have with all of my other previous therapists combined. Without doubt, he's gotten me through some of the darkest periods of my life. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of an empathetic, compassionate, but thorough therapist. He doesn't hesitate to call me out when needed but does so gently and with love. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

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.

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.

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 is the best! Hands Down!

Robert has been fabulous as he has helped me work through many issues.

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.

Robert has been absolutely excellent through my journey listening in a compassionate way and identifying strategies to help resolve my problems.

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.

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.

Robert is the best. I got lucky that the first therapist I was paired with was perfect for me! I can't recommend him enough!

Good listener. Asks challenging and probing questions

Robert has been excellent through this journey and I highly recommend him to others.

He listens and gives great advice

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.

I felt comfortable with Robert the moment we connected for our first video session. He has always been easily reachable, highly respectful, and prompt in his replies. One of the best therapist connections I've made to date.

I have done three sessions with Robert and I am beyond satisfied as I am already starting to see self-improvement.

He has done a great job of giving me actionable strategies to combat my stress.

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.

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.
