If anxiety has been calling the shots in your life — keeping you from doing things you love, making you second-guess yourself, or trapping you in a cycle of "what ifs" — you've come to the right place.

I'm an anxiety specialist, and I've dedicated my practice to helping people just like you take their life back from anxiety, phobias, OCD, and intrusive thoughts. I know how exhausting it is to feel like your own mind is working against you. The good news? It doesn't have to stay that way. You are not your anxiety, and with the right tools, you don't have to let it make your decisions anymore.

I genuinely love this work. There's nothing more rewarding than watching someone realize they have more power over their anxiety than they ever thought possible — and I'd love the chance to help you experience that too.

Robert Descoteaux

Therapist

Virtual • Vermont


I’m a licensed therapist with more than 20 years of experience in behavioral health. I trained at Goddard College, earned my doctorate in public health from Tulane University, and am licensed to practice in both Maine and Vermont.

I work with individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. My approach is grounded in an existential perspective, which means I help clients explore questions of meaning, identity, connection, and how their environments shape their wellbeing. I believe that even healthy people can become symptomatic in unhealthy environments, and I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, build insight, and move toward lives that feel more authentic and sustainable.

My goal is to offer a thoughtful, supportive space where clients can reflect, heal, and make meaningful change.
