About Robyn

Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, grief, career questions, anger, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings a broad clinical background from hospitals, inpatient psychiatric units, outpatient clinics, and in-home settings, and has supported children, adolescents, adults, and families across those environments. Robyn emphasizes a client-centered, strengths-based, and solutions-focused way of working that prioritizes building a trusting connection as the foundation for change.

Her training includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Roger Williams University and a Master of Social Work from Boston University. Robyn integrates evidence-informed techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor plans that help clients identify strengths and pursue practical goals.

She frames therapy as collaborative and oriented toward real-world progress, offering guidance while helping clients develop lasting skills. Located in Connecticut, Robyn offers a thoughtful, empathic approach that balances practical tools with emotional support.

Prospective clients are encouraged to take the first step toward change, with Robyn available to work alongside them as they navigate transitions and build resilience.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Robyn draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to inform online work. CBT helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, with clear, skill-based exercises that translate well to remote sessions. ACT focuses on values-based action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful life directions, which can help with stress, life transitions, and motivation.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Robyn works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Early sessions typically prioritize connection and assessment so that treatment plans can blend techniques from different models when appropriate and evolve based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy schedules and people in different locations within Connecticut. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support without traveling, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor pacing and tools to each client's circumstances.
