Jacob Thomas Cribbs

Registered Pre-Licensed Clinical Counselor

Do you feel internally unsettled—even when your life looks “fine” from the outside? I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity, and meaning-making. While I welcome all persons of all ilks, identity specialties include men and men-aligned individuals, college-aged clients, LGBTQ+ folks, couples, and those exploring spirituality or life direction.

My approach is active, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies including ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Existential Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused work. Together, we build practical tools for emotional regulation, clarity, and psychological flexibility while making space for deeper questions about identity, purpose, and connection.

I offer individual, couples, and group therapy, including innovative therapeutic gaming groups that support social confidence, self-expression, and community building. I’m trained in Nonviolent Communication, Habit Reversal, Level 1 Gottman Method (for couples), Therapeutic Gaming, and recovery-oriented care.

Clients often come to me for anxiety, experiential support and validation, family or interpersonal trauma regulation, and relationship concerns. My style balances warmth and care with encouragement and challenge—we’ll work at a pace that respects your nervous system while still helping you move forward.

Sessions are available online across Vermont or in-person in Shelburne. I accept Vermont Medicaid (Green Mountain Care), MVP, and private pay. I will be in-network with BCBC and CBA Blue as of May 2026. Session cost baselines are $150 for individual, $175 per couple, and are variable for groups and therapeutic gaming campaigns. I am fully rostered in Vermont and am currently a supervised pre-licensed Master's of Clinical Counseling student at Antioch University of New England.
