About Robin

Robin Taufer is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of clinical experience guiding people through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family conflicts.

Background and approach

She combines practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with strengths-based collaboration, helping clients identify habits and patterns that contribute to emotional distress while building clearer ways of thinking and behaving. Her work also addresses concerns common in LGBT care along with communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Robin frames clients as the experts of their own stories and aims to partner with them to uncover and activate their existing strengths. She presents therapy as a courageous step and focuses on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore change at a manageable pace.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Robin integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work to help people change unhelpful thinking patterns and build values-driven action. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression, offering practical strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful actions, which can be useful for managing guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which approaches align with their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting tools and pacing as the work unfolds so that progress feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from different locations and at varying times. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency, try techniques between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
