About Robyn
Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York and Connecticut with 22 years of experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, grief, anger, career questions, ADHD, and major life changes.
She has provided social work services in hospitals, inpatient psychiatric facilities, outpatient mental health clinics, and in people’s homes. That variety shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. Sessions focus on clear steps and usable skills rather than abstract theory.
Robyn centers the work on building a connection first. Once there is a working relationship, she uses evidence-based tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The aim is to identify strengths, set straightforward goals, and practice techniques that change how daily situations feel.
Her training includes a psychology degree from Roger Williams University and a Master of Social Work from Boston University. Those clinical and community settings inform shorter-term problem solving and longer-term coping strategies.
People can expect sessions that are direct and practical. Conversations examine current stressors, test skills between sessions, and adjust plans when needed. Robyn works with each person to map realistic next steps and measurable goals.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. In practice this helps people move toward meaningful activities even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for several sessions and then adjusting based on what works in everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, handle brief check-ins between appointments, or avoid travel time. They can also allow different ways of practicing skills between meetings, which aligns with her emphasis on homework and real-world application.
