About Robyn

Robyn Young is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with eight years of psychotherapy experience. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside psychodynamic and client-centered influences to help people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

Her practice addresses both everyday challenges and more complex issues like mood disorders, compassion fatigue, attachment concerns, and life transitions. Robyn emphasizes a collaborative, humanistic stance that centers the client's experience and strengths.

She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore communication problems, questions of life purpose, self-esteem and self-love, workplace stress, and women’s issues. Her goal is to support clients in building coping strategies, reconnecting with an authentic sense of self, and cultivating healthier patterns in relationships.

Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs, integrating mindfulness and solution-focused elements when helpful. Robyn works with attention to aging and geriatric issues as well as family-related concerns, guiding clients through practical coping and deeper emotional work so they can engage more fully with their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and shifting behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it often includes practical tools and skills to use between sessions. Attachment-based therapy explores how early and current relational patterns shape emotional responses and interpersonal difficulties, helping clients build more stable connections and healthier boundaries. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-directive stance in which the therapist offers acceptance and reflection to support self-exploration and personal growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Robyn works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time so the plan aligns with each person's needs. This partnership helps ensure therapeutic work stays relevant and responsive.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to fit therapy into a busy life or different time zones. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from wherever a client is located, and choose the communication mode that best supports their progress.
