About Robyn

Robyn Petersen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With 16 years of clinical and case management experience, she draws on a broad background that includes hospice care, community mental health, child welfare, and inpatient geriatric psychiatry. Robyn also brings experience serving veterans and working with serious mental illness through her role at the VA.

Her practice emphasizes a strength-based, client-centered stance that honors each person’s unique path. She aims to create an open, genuine therapeutic relationship built on respect, dignity, and compassion, and she helps clients identify and expand the skills they already possess.

Robyn integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused and Mindfulness approaches to tailor treatment to individual needs and goals. Robyn offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

She welcomes those ready to take a first step and prefers to collaborate with clients to find practical tools and supports that fit their circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Robyn frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values, accept difficult thoughts or emotions, and take committed steps that align with what matters most. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and coping with persistent mental health challenges. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for addressing patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and other concerns. Mindfulness-based techniques are woven into sessions to foster present-moment awareness and to help reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan over time so that treatment remains aligned with each person's needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity of care, and access support from the comfort of one’s current environment while working with a licensed professional.
