About Robyn

Robyn Thorsted is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in Utah with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on a wide range of concerns including grief and loss, stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and career challenges.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses parenting, compassion fatigue, impulsivity, and issues connected to adoption, attachment, autism, and end-of-life transitions. Robyn draws from several evidence-informed methods to tailor therapy to each person’s needs.

She centers the client's voice, helping people identify strengths and clarify values as they navigate life transitions and emotional pain. Her approach blends cognitive and behavioral tools with emotion-focused and acceptance-based strategies to build skills for coping, improve communication, and strengthen emotional regulation.

Known for a collaborative, respectful stance, Robyn frames clients as the experts on their own stories and aims to empower people to take practical steps toward change.

She offers flexible online session formats to fit different preferences and schedules, and she invites prospective clients to begin by completing a brief questionnaire to find a good match for their goals.

How Robyn’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Robyn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most and build flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can support work on anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical coping and problem-solving skills useful for stress, ADHD-related challenges, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Robyn collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, values, and day-to-day realities, adjusting strategies as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions offer practical benefits for ongoing therapy by providing options that fit varied schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be a simpler alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and continued skill practice between sessions. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain momentum in therapy while tailoring communication to individual preferences.
