Robyn Scher

Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 22 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, grief, career decisions, ADHD, and major life changes. Robyn aims to build a trusting connection first so people feel heard and can move forward.

She trained in psychology at Roger Williams University and earned a Master of Social Work at Boston University. Her background includes work in hospitals, inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient clinics, and in-home services. That variety informs how she adapts support to different life situations.

Robyn uses practical, down-to-earth methods. She favors a client-centered, strengths-based, solutions-focused approach and mixes tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Sessions focus on identifying what is most helpful and building skills that fit daily life.

In meetings she focuses on connecting, listening, and setting clear goals. People can expect straightforward conversation, skill-building, and realistic steps for change. Robyn emphasizes collaboration so each plan matches the person’s needs and pace.

She works from Connecticut and provides services in English. Robyn encourages those ready to take a next step to explore how therapy might fit into their routine.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT inform online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It often focuses on small, practical moves that match a person’s priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools can be useful for intense emotions like anger and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or DBT tools to work well in remote sessions and focus on practical skills that transfer to everyday life.
