Background and approach
Robyn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide sessions. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them. Sessions are aimed at skills people can use in daily life.
Her background includes hospital work, inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient clinics, and home visits. This variety shaped a flexible approach to common problems like mood concerns, anxiety, substance use history, and relationship difficulties. Robyn adapts strategies to each person’s needs.
Robyn earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Roger Williams University and a Master of Social Work from Boston University. She holds LCSW credentials in New York and Connecticut.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward what matters most. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by focusing on values and small actionable steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce stress and improve mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It emphasizes emotion regulation, mindfulness, and effective communication.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. Robyn will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their situation. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is most helpful and practical for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let clients share progress or questions between appointments. These options make it easier to fit support into work, school, or family life while still using evidence-informed approaches.
