She is a wonderful therapist who listens well and helps you complete your goals! And when I say listen, I really mean it! Not only do her responses reflect what you say to her in each individual session, but she remembers what you said in the past, so that you don't feel like you're starting over again each session. Also, she answers messages sent to her in a timely manner, like within 24 hrs. I value her immensely, and I can't recommend her enough!

Hello. My name is Robin Shell. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland. I graduated from Howard University with a B.A. in Economics and from Capital Bible Seminary with a M.A. in Counseling. I provided counseling with a Christian counseling organization and in my own practice for over ten years working with individuals, couples, and families coping with stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, self-esteem, and life changes.
I utilize a variety of treatment modalities based on each client’s needs, which include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Brief Therapy, Faith-Based Therapy and Client Centered Therapy. Each therapeutic approach that I use remains client-centered and honors individuals’ diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. Making the decision to seek counseling is important, and I look forward to building a collaborative therapeutic relationship where you feel supported in achieving your desired goals.
I am committed to assisting you in identifying healthy solutions to your concerns and look forward to working with you.

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.
