About Robyn

Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of practice across hospitals, inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient clinics, and home-based care.

Background and approach

She brings extensive experience supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, ADHD, anger, and other life changes. Robyn emphasizes connecting with each person and building on their strengths as the first step toward meaningful progress.

Her clinical work blends client-centered, strengths-based, and solutions-focused perspectives while using evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Robyn draws on a broad clinical background with children, adolescents, adults, and families to help clients identify practical steps, clarify goals, and develop skills for coping and growth.

She holds a master’s degree in social work from Boston University and an undergraduate degree in psychology from Roger Williams University. Robyn frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to create a working relationship where clients feel seen and supported as they pursue change.

She welcomes those ready to take steps toward healthier patterns and clearer priorities.

Online approaches that support practical change

Robyn integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work to help clients build skills and clarity. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-based action and psychological flexibility, helping people accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Robyn works with clients to explore which methods match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts interventions over time so the work stays relevant and practical for each person.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, her online practice aims to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy while fitting sessions into busy lives, supporting steady progress without needing frequent in-person travel.
