About Robin
Robin Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oregon with ten years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and attention differences like ADHD.
He describes a relationship-oriented approach. Sessions focus on real-life problems and practical steps. He draws on solutions that reduce immediate stress and improve how people relate to others.
Robin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and try different responses. He also uses Existential ideas to help people make meaning when life shifts, and the Gottman Method for couples work aimed at communication and conflict patterns.
He has experience in Family Preservation Therapy and in treating process addictions such as problematic pornography use, exercise compulsion, and gambling, alongside substance-related issues. He works with concerns related to seasonal affective disorder and paranoia when these come up in sessions.
Robin describes himself as non-religious but notes familiarity with Christian faith issues, including concerns common to people from Latter-day Saint backgrounds. He emphasizes a client's right to choose their path and helps people reconnect with supports when that is useful.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. That first meeting is used to set goals and decide practical next steps.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used during online sessions
Robin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in sessions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. The Gottman Method focuses on communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding trust for partners who want clearer patterns in their relationship.He also draws on Solution-Focused and Existential ideas when they fit a person's goals. Solution-Focused work centers on practical steps and what changes will make the biggest difference soon. Existential approaches help when people need to clarify values and meaning during big life transitions. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative; the therapist will discuss options and adjust methods to match a client's goals and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit a meeting into a work break, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when needed. The focus is on making therapy workable within everyday life while testing approaches that match a client's concerns and schedule.
