Robin Burns, LCSW

Robin Burns is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Texas with ten years of experience. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Robin uses practical, skills-based work to address day-to-day problems and longer-term patterns.

She favors approaches that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thinking, testing new responses, and building skills for coping with strong feelings. Robin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one regular method alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused techniques.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, reflects what she hears, and then suggests short exercises or experiments to try between sessions. Many clients work on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and small habit changes that reduce stress or improve mood.

Robin also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are central. That can mean practicing distress tolerance skills, learning ways to notice automatic reactions, or exploring how early attachment experiences influence current relationships.

She works with a wide range of concerns beyond the main specialties, including caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image issues, and adjustment after adoption or loss. People who want concrete steps and regular feedback about progress often find this approach useful.
