More about Robin

Hi! My name is Robin Carver. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW since 2002. I come to this position with varied professional experiences. I completed an internship at a domestic violence shelter, provided intensive, in-home counseling to families for 1.5 years, worked on a mental health unit at a local hospital providing discharge planning, group work and conducted suicide assessments for 6 years. I spent 4.5 years working in a Therapeutic Day Treatment Program at both a middle school and elementary school (5 yo-18 yo), in which I offered a minimum of one hour of therapeutic intervention and support to children/adolescents, on a daily basis. I was in a supervisory role for the TDT Program and a School Based Outpatient Counseling Program for the last 11 years, supervising clinicians in these positions and providing supervision for their LPS/LCSW licensure. I also supervised an Intensive Care Coordination program, one of the most intensive therapeutic services available for youth, for 2 years. I have counseled adults and teens via the BetterHelp online platform since May 2022. These numerous experiences have helped me to grow in my professional development immensely as well as provided me with varied opportunities to develop and strengthen my clinical skills. I feel that building a strong and trusting relationship is the foundation to a successful therapeutic experience. Hence, that is the focus of my work, finding a way to join with you where you are in life. Being warm, kind, accepting, non-judgmental, listening and reflecting are core principles I utilize in counseling. Once a trusting relationship has been established, I will begin working with you to find strategies that will work to alleviate the various symptoms you may be experiencing. I find it extremely rewarding to help you identify your strengths and values, teach you coping skills and strategies to assist you in overcoming challenging situations in a positive way and being there for you in times of need. Sometimes, you just need a person to trust, someone who will listen to you, someone to be with you in your most difficult moments. I am humbled to have this opportunity and cherish each and every person with whom I have the opportunity to work. I believe that everyone is unique, strong and resilient and I enjoy being able to walk beside you in your journey of self-growth. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you!
Warmly,
Robin Carver, LCSW

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Robin has been supportive and professional in all our sessions. She is a great listener and is open and ready to talk about whatever is worrying me/keeping me stuck, etc. She is validating and is a great communicator, often using helpful metaphors to help me with my issues. I am still in therapy bc she is so good!
Robin does a very good job in getting me to think about the issues I have. She is very warm and friendly. I recommend her to other potential Better Help clients.
Very kind and receptive, my first therapy situation and I’m very happy
Robin has helped me enormously. She is so professional and very kind. She really listens and offers strategies and help during every session.
Choosing to speak with Robin was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. Robin's insightful and compassionate approach has profoundly impacted both my personal relationships and professional life. She creates a safe and welcoming space, making it easy to open up and address deep-seated issues. Robin's guidance has been invaluable, helping me navigate complex emotions and situations with clarity and confidence. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful and transformative therapy.
Robin is a kind, understanding, and helpful therapist. She is very compassionate and listens to what you’re struggling with and gives you ways to work through things. Sometimes I just needed to talk things through and she was always there willing to listen and validate my concerns. And help guide me into a better life balance. I always looked forward to my sessions with her. I grew a lot in the time I worked with her. Thank you so much Robin!!

Love her!
Really good listener and extremely helpful with developing strategies to work through various issues.
Robin has been a thoughtful, insightful and supportive guide for me as I have grappled with life changes and family issues. She is professional, empathetic and is able to synthesize my issues to help me identify pathways forward. I trust her and look forward to our sessions!
I cannot say how grateful and thankful I am that I have Robin in my life. It took me nearly 20 years to finally get the help I needed and she has been a god-send. It’s never too late to get help. It’s a tough but rewarding journey, and Robin’s expertise, professionalism, warmth, understanding, and genuine kindness has made therapy the approachable and doable support I needed all along. Thank you, Robin!

Robin is caring , understanding and easy to talk with. She help me to reframe things using CBT.
Robin is a compassionate and supportive therapist who is also very professional. She has helped me through some very challenging family relationships as well as life changes. I appreciate that she takes her cue from me as to what I hope to/need to work on during our sessions, and that she is able to connect different elements of my life to whatever we are talking about. I have grown emotionally and reduced my anxiety with the support of Robin.
Robin has been great, I was a little nervous in the beginning but she really made me feel comfortable. She listens and is honest and helpful. I really appreciate her.
Robin is the perfect therapist for me. She truly listens in an unbiased way and always knows exactly what to say. I often come the the session with something I need to work through and then after just 45 minutes with Robin, the weight of the world gets lifted off of my shoulders. Robin is a wonderful listener and always knows what to say. I’ve been able to use the strategies she’s given me in my everyday life and it has helped my anxiety and confidence tremendously. Robin is the perfect therapist for me and if you are looking for someone who is kind, supportive, and unbiased, she will be the perfect therapist for you, too.
Robin is wonderful, I have really enjoyed working with her. She is a really good listener, she is practical, and she can be gentle yet appropriately challenging especially with negative thoughts. I really recommend her.
Great listener, empathetic, resourceful!
Love Robin!!!!
Robin is very easy to talk to. I feel heard all the time. She listens to my concerns and give me great responses.
Robin Carver was the best therapist I have ever worked with. I move around a lot and I was at a big changing point in my life with many stresses that I couldn’t seem to handle. I felt comfortable talking about anything with her and always looked forward to our meetings! My view on my life both in long term and in the day to day have changed and I also got a lot of help with working on my relationship with my fiancé. We both have been working together stronger and communicating more.
I have gotten so much out of my sessions with Robin. She is thoughtful, an excellent listener and very compassionate. She guides our discussion in a way that feels proactive for me and super helpful.

She is very nice and helpful with everything and I appreciate her having many open times available to chat
Robin is an empathetic kind and well informed therapist. I feel heard by her and understood . She is wonderful at validating my experiences and the things I've gone through helping me to process and move forward.
Robin is very compassionate and listens to my issues. She has a great deal of experience in the therapy field. I look forward to our next visit.
Robin is really helping me get comfortable with therapy, which is something I’ve said at times Id never do. It’s a very valuable experience and she contributes positively to my self esteem.,
Robin’s kindness always allows me to become vulnerable when sharing my emotions which have created a foundation of trust that have led to productive sessions. Robin welcomes and accepts all emotions. Her expertise combined with her warm personality make her a phenomenal therapist. I’m very thankful for Robin!
I have only been working with Robin for a short time, but have already felt a difference in my day to day life. She is a wonderful therapist, has been incredibly supportive and kind, and is someone I feel comfortable discussing all of my concerns with. She is a true professional and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for support!
I am very pleased with my sessions with Robin. She listens to me she offers me things to read that may help my situation she helps me figure things out she is wonderful :)
Robin has been great! She listens to what I have to say, challenges when necessary, sympathizes when necessary and relates when appropriate. She has been focused on what I want to get out of counseling which is a set of tools to help me help myself.
Robin has been wonderful in our sessions so far. She has been intuitive to my concerns, attentive, and flexible. I find myself looking forward to our sessions and feel far more content and peaceful afterwards. I can’t ask for much more than that in just the few sessions we’ve had so far!
