About Robin

Robin Ross is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings ten years of practice to clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, and a range of addictive behaviors.

Background and approach

He also supports people facing grief, intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, seasonal affective disorder, paranoia, and process addictions such as problematic porn, exercise, or gambling. Robin emphasizes self-determination and helps people connect with inner resources while removing obstacles to seeking support from important people in their lives.

His work is relationship-oriented and informed by a background in family preservation therapy, with experience across individuals, teens, couples, and adults. Robin identifies as non-religious while holding an understanding of Christian faith contexts, including concerns common to LDS people or those wrestling with questions of belief.

He integrates practical, goal-focused methods with attention to how values and relationships shape change, aiming to help clients build clearer coping strategies and healthier connections over time.

Approaches and Online Support for Relationship and Mood Concerns

Robin commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. He also uses elements of Existential Therapy to explore meaning, values, and life choices for people wrestling with identity, purpose, or major life transitions. Each approach is applied in straightforward, conversational terms that connect insights to everyday steps toward change.

Figuring out which approach fits best is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, test strategies, and adjust methods over time so the work aligns with the client's needs, preferences, and values rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue consistent therapeutic work from various locations and to choose the communication style that supports engagement and progress.
