About Robin
She favors a strengths-based, client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on hearing what matters to each person and finding practical next steps. People often come when they feel stuck, worried, or overwhelmed, and Robin aims to help them notice resources they already have.
Robin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and build small wins. These approaches are mixed with client-centered principles so each plan fits the person sitting across from her.
Her background includes many years in community behavioral health and five years as an in-home parent educator with the University of Florida's Nurturing Program. She holds the credential LMHC and became licensed in California as LPCC in 2024 while maintaining her Florida practice.
Robin emphasizes compassion and respect for people of all races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations. She tends to work one-on-one and helps people discover strengths they didn’t realize they had. If someone wants support tackling midlife questions, life transitions, or ongoing anxiety, she guides them toward practical steps and clearer perspective.

How Robin’s approaches translate to online work
Robin commonly draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are, which helps when someone needs a calm space to voice concerns. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve coping. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the focus to small, achievable goals and builds momentum through quick wins.Figuring out the right approach is a team effort. Robin works collaboratively to identify goals, then tries methods that fit a person’s needs and preferences. The process often begins with identifying one or two immediate concerns and testing simple strategies to see what helps.
If you’re considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports steady follow-up and goal tracking across sessions so practical tools learned with CBT or Solution-Focused methods can be practiced between meetings.
