More about Robyn

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW

I am a clinical social worker licensed in Washington state with over 8 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, psychosis, trauma, and those facing life changes and challenges.

I am a compassionate and engaging therapist who will create a safe environment for you. Here, you will feel comfortable discussing your struggles, concerns, and feelings. I will guide and support you as you examine different aspects of your life and come to conclusions that help you create a new ability to engage with your world. My work focuses on helping people improve their ability to cope with the challenges and crises of their lives, regain an authentic sense of self and wholeness, and grow into healthy, deeper relationships. My approach combines humanistic, psychodynamic, neuropsychology, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. You and I will work collaboratively to tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to reach out for assistance in achieving a happier and more fulfilling life. I would really like to help you on your journey to a stronger and more authentic sense of self.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I appreciate Robyn a lot, even after one session and a few worksheets. I wasn’t very clear on what I think I needed to work on, but she helped make it easier to navigate my feelings and figure out what the next courses of action I should take in my healing process. She noticed I was already adjusting pretty well and was very supportive and even gave a few pointers that was really helpful. Truly grateful that I tried this out and I highly recommend her

Robyn is an incredibly good listener. I feel so understood by her in such a short time. I can express any kind of chaotic energy and emotion to her and she will receive it with a gentleness and probe with just the right kind of questions to help me unravel how I feel. She goes at my pace, and makes great suggestions/ideas for what I can work on or try after each session. I’m really thankful for her and our conversations.

Robyn is amazing. She’s incredibly kind and soft in her speech, her tone is comforting and soothing and she’s overall a very calming presence. Robyn creates and holds a safe space in each session that has really allowed me to open up and express the aspects of myself that are difficult for me to voice even to myself. I feel seen and heard in a way I’ve never felt and for that I am grateful. She has great tact and delivers advice, knowledge and recommendations in a kind, supportive and uplifting way. I’m really glad I have Robyn in my corner.

Robyn has been a pillar in my personal development and improvement over the past year plus. She has a wonderful way of connecting with you and creating a safe space to open up. It feels like we have true and genuine conversations that discuss my struggles, questions, thoughts and how I can better cope. I had explored other therapists before over the years and there has never been that sense of ease, warmth, safety as I have experienced with Robyn. She is by far the best!
