About Robin

Dr. Robin Andrus draws on 31 years of clinical experience as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Washington to provide empathetic, practical care for people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma, depression, grief, ADHD, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She combines well-established therapeutic methods with a warm, relational stance to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, helping clients build insight and practical skills they can use outside the therapy hour. Her work emphasizes connection and collaboration; she partners with clients to map patterns, identify strengths, and set achievable goals.

Sessions emphasize both emotional safety and skill development, blending therapies that target thinking and behavior with approaches that deepen attachment and relational understanding. Clients leave sessions with clearer perspective, actionable coping strategies, and a strengthened sense of self-efficacy.

Dr. Andrus describes her style as compassionate, nonjudgmental, and grounded in evidence-based practice.

She aims to support sustained change by fostering resilience, healthier boundaries, and renewed clarity so people can move forward with more balance and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Andrus integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address emotional and behavioral patterns in accessible, practical ways. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their concerns and values. CBT targets thoughts and behaviors with specific strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related difficulties while teaching skills that can be used between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances to tailor methods that fit the individual's needs, and adjustments are made over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people juggling busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and use a communication mode that feels most comfortable for the client.
