About Robin
Dr. Robin Andrus is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 31 years of experience. She practices in Washington and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Her style is warm and relational. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at finding practical steps that fit a person's life.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns, helps identify strengths, and works with each person to build new tools for daily challenges. Dr. Andrus uses a mix of approaches to match the issue and the person's goals.
She draws on client-centered listening, attachment ideas about relationships, and cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps are used to set achievable goals and keep progress moving. People who come to her can expect clear, plain talk and concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Work often focuses on improving communication, managing worry, coping with change, and strengthening self-esteem. For those dealing with ADHD-related challenges, the emphasis is on routines, skills, and realistic planning. Her long experience includes help with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, autism spectrum considerations, codependency, and men's and young adult issues.
Sessions are offered in English and tailored to each person's pace and priorities.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Andrus often uses client-centered therapy which focuses on listening closely and following the person's concerns. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their priorities. Attachment-based therapy looks at how past connections affect current relationships and helps people change interaction patterns to feel more supported.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. It is practical for managing anxiety, low mood, and everyday ADHD struggles like planning and time management. These methods are used together to create clear, doable steps the client can try between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. The first few sessions focus on listening and planning so the work feels useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy can fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief updates and reminders. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills between sessions.
