Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Robyn and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing social work services. I have extensive experience working in different settings such as hospitals, inpatient psychiatric facilities, outpatient mental health clinics, as well as in people’s homes. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I work with clients affected by mood disorders, anxiety, substance use, trauma, relationship challenges, and so much more.
I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island and my Masters degree in Social Work at Boston University .
My approach is to first focus on making a connection because without that we won’t be able to make much progress. I strongly believe therapy is client centered, strengths-based and solutions-focused. I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals.
I look forward to working with you! I am proud of you for taking this step. We can do this together!!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
