Background and approach
Her background includes work in hospice, community mental health, child welfare, and inpatient geriatric psychiatry. She holds a Bachelor and Master of Social Work from Missouri State University and is an Air Force veteran. This range of settings shaped her focus on supporting people through grief, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and trauma and abuse.
Robyn blends several therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotionally-Focused and client-centered approaches. These methods are used to address mood concerns, ADHD-related struggles, relationship problems, and coping with major life transitions.
Her manner is open and genuine. Robyn emphasizes respect, dignity, and compassion while helping clients build practical skills. She encourages a step-by-step process, starting with what feels manageable and moving toward clearer goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without being overwhelmed by them, and then take action that aligns with their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and dealing with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or excessive worry. It often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions. Client-centered work centers the person in the room, offering empathy and respect while you figure out your own goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robyn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That ongoing conversation helps tailor sessions so techniques are relevant and realistic for everyday life.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter, focused check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts in moments between appointments and fit care around busy schedules. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to maintain continuity when life gets hectic.
