About Robyn

Robyn Ott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of clinical experience who focuses on practical, goal-oriented therapy. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients examine unhelpful thinking and build concrete skills for change.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes pacing, incremental goal setting, and accountability so people can move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and improved daily functioning.

With a strengths-focused, compassionate style, Robyn blends direct guidance and life-tested tools to address concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and issues related to eating, sleeping, anger, and career.

She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a range of related areas such as body image, codependency, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Robyn’s practice highlights practical strategies and a collaborative approach to help clients develop new perspectives, sustainable habits, and greater confidence as they work toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Robyn frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and moods. CBT is typically applied to issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility so clients can take meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT can be useful for people coping with grief, chronic stress, or painful life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Robyn works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and strengths and then tailors methods that best support those aims, adjusting pacing and techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit work on goals into a busy life and to maintain continuity across locations. These remote options help people access licensed professionals from wherever they are, schedule sessions more conveniently, and use a mix of real-time and ongoing messaging to reinforce learning and accountability.
