She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from William Carey University, and she brings that academic foundation to work with people across the lifespan.

She particularly enjoys working with adolescent females and young adults, offering an empathetic and interactive style that honors each person as unique. Robin blends client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and rediscover purpose and hope. Her approach is holistic and collaborative - she works with clients to tailor interventions to their goals and circumstances while aiming to restore resilience and well-being even during challenging times.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Robin draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful and collaborative space where the client's values and goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathic understanding, and supporting clients as they explore their own solutions, which can be helpful for matters like self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more constructive patterns. CBT is practical and skills-based, often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It can be especially helpful for people coping with past abuse, post-traumatic stress, or other distressing memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from home or another comfortable setting.
