Her background includes work in hospitals, day treatment centers, shelters, outpatient clinics, and private practice.

Through that work she facilitates a virtual parenting group for parents of teenagers.
Robin also brings experience coaching people with ADHD and those needing concrete success strategies. She has worked with students, parents, and employees on skills for organization, follow-through, and managing impulsivity.

How Robin’s approaches translate to online work
Robin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in her practice. CBT involves identifying patterns of thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress, impulsivity, and emotional intensity.She also incorporates client-centered and solution-focused elements, which means sessions focus on the person's priorities and practical next steps rather than on labels. Finding the best mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust the approach over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support participation in a virtual parenting group or coaching conversations about organization and ADHD strategies. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to focus on practical skills and homework between meetings.
