Robert Hennessy, LAC

Supervised by Ashlyn Rost, LPC, ACS

I help individuals, couples, and families throughout New Jersey better understand themselves, manage anxiety and depression, and create healthier patterns in their lives and relationships.

Anxiety therapist in New Jersey

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. I work to create a space that feels approachable, supportive, and grounded—where you can speak openly, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes at your own pace.

I provide telehealth therapy throughout New Jersey for individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, mood-related challenges, relationship difficulties, and family stressors.

I’m especially passionate about helping people who are new to therapy and may not know where to begin. My goal is to make the process feel comfortable, collaborative, and practical from the very first session.

My Approach

Robert Hennessy at Waves of Change in New Jersey

I use a client-centered approach and integrate evidence-based techniques including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Solution-Focused Therapy

  • Choice Theory

  • Strengths-Based Interventions

My work focuses on identifying what may no longer be serving you, building on your existing strengths, and developing realistic strategies that support emotional growth and healthier relationships.

What It’s Like to Work Together

My style is collaborative, direct, and grounded in curiosity. I balance insight and reflection with practical tools you can apply in everyday life.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can explore your experiences honestly—without judgment—while also building greater self-awareness, accountability, and healthier patterns in your relationships.

I tailor sessions to your individual needs and focus on helping you better understand yourself, strengthen coping skills, and move toward lasting change.
