About Robyn
Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strains, parenting challenges, grief, and major life changes. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps and real support.
She begins by building a strong connection with each person. Robyn uses a client-centered, strengths-based style that focuses on what is working and what can change.
Background and approach
Sessions are framed around clear goals and small, doable steps toward them. Robyn draws from several practical approaches including acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior methods. She mixes tools to fit the needs of the person in front of her rather than following one rigid method.
That allows her to pivot when a different skill would help more. Her background includes work in hospitals, inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient mental health clinics, and home-based care. That variety shaped a pragmatic approach to everyday problems like parenting stress, work-related pressure, and ongoing mood symptoms.
Robyn earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Roger Williams University and a Master of Social Work from Boston University. She holds LCSW licenses in New York and Connecticut and practices from Connecticut. She speaks English and works collaboratively to set realistic goals people can use between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online care
Robyn often uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people live by their values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. That approach focuses on small action steps and learning to notice what matters most rather than getting stuck on unhelpful thoughts.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice concrete behavior changes. CBT-style work can involve setting simple experiments, tracking mood and behavior, and building new routines that reduce anxiety and improve focus.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Robyn works with each person to figure out which tools suit their goals, needs, and daily life. She adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone works well for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can fit brief coaching, quick skill reminders, or check-ins between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep progress going from wherever they are.
