About Robin

Robin brings a steady presence and decades of clinical perspective to sessions.
She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Texas. Robin uses clear, practical methods so people can make changes that matter.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life tools for coping, managing strong emotions, and improving communication. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work to match the person and the problem. Her background spans 35 years in clinical settings across many ages and situations.
That history includes work with illness, chronic pain, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and aging-related challenges. Robin has also supported people with bipolar disorder, co-morbidity, and complex life transitions. She is comfortable addressing practical family concerns like blended family dynamics, parent stress, and communication breakdowns.
Robin also helps people navigate fears about abandonment, commitment, control issues, and codependency. Faith can be part of the conversation when a client wishes to include it. Robin aims to help each person find tools that fit their life.
Sessions focus on problem solving, building coping skills, and restoring confidence. The style is collaborative, direct, and grounded in everyday language.
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by building flexible responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and shifting emotional patterns that affect close relationships and intimacy-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and the problems at hand. Together they choose or blend methods that fit the person’s needs rather than using one fixed model.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and a way to keep momentum between sessions. These options help people access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other demands.
