About Robyn
LCSW in Connecticut with 22 years of experience, Robyn Scher helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, parenting challenges, grief, anger, career questions, ADHD, and life changes. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside a strengths-based, solution-focused approach.
Robyn began in hospital and inpatient settings and has also worked in outpatient clinics and in people’s homes. That range means she is familiar with short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy. Her undergraduate degree is in psychology from Roger Williams University and she earned a Master of Social Work from Boston University.
Her first focus in a session is on building a working connection. She believes a solid connection makes practical change possible. From there she helps clients identify their strengths and set clear, achievable goals.
Sessions draw on ACT, CBT, and DBT techniques depending on the issue. That can look like practicing new coping skills, testing unhelpful thoughts, or learning ways to tolerate strong feelings. Robyn frames work in concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and in-home settings during her career, and brings that clinical background into conversations about parenting and family stress. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How Robyn uses ACT, CBT, and DBT in remote work
Robyn works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions by shifting focus from symptom control to meaningful action.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to change thinking patterns and everyday behavior, which can reduce anxiety and depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those DBT skills can be useful for anger, relationship strain, and distress tolerance.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and will adjust techniques as work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they actually live and work, which many find helpful.
