She is a wonderful therapist who listens well and helps you complete your goals! And when I say listen, I really mean it! Not only do her responses reflect what you say to her in each individual session, but she remembers what you said in the past, so that you don't feel like you're starting over again each session. Also, she answers messages sent to her in a timely manner, like within 24 hrs. I value her immensely, and I can't recommend her enough!

Hello. My name is Robin Shell. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland. I graduated from Howard University with a B.A. in Economics and from Capital Bible Seminary with a M.A. in Counseling. I provided counseling with a Christian counseling organization and in my own practice for over ten years working with individuals, couples, and families coping with stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, self-esteem, and life changes.
I utilize a variety of treatment modalities based on each client’s needs, which include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Brief Therapy, Faith-Based Therapy and Client Centered Therapy. Each therapeutic approach that I use remains client-centered and honors individuals’ diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. Making the decision to seek counseling is important, and I look forward to building a collaborative therapeutic relationship where you feel supported in achieving your desired goals.
I am committed to assisting you in identifying healthy solutions to your concerns and look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
