Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Robyn and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing social work services. I have extensive experience working in different settings such as hospitals, inpatient psychiatric facilities, outpatient mental health clinics, as well as in people’s homes. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I work with clients affected by mood disorders, anxiety, substance use, trauma, relationship challenges, and so much more.
I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island and my Masters degree in Social Work at Boston University .
My approach is to first focus on making a connection because without that we won’t be able to make much progress. I strongly believe therapy is client centered, strengths-based and solutions-focused. I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals.
I look forward to working with you! I am proud of you for taking this step. We can do this together!!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
