About Robyn
Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of clinical experience. She practices in Connecticut and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.
She has worked in hospitals, inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient clinics, and in people’s homes. That range gives her experience with mood disorders, substance use, trauma, and practical problems that come up in daily life.
Robyn uses clear, goal-oriented methods. Sessions focus on identifying what is not working, noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, and trying different ways of responding. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when those fit a person’s needs.
Her style is client-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused. That means sessions emphasize the client’s existing resources, set concrete goals, and track small changes over time. She prioritizes building a working relationship first so practical work can follow.
Robyn has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Roger Williams University and a Master of Social Work from Boston University. Her background includes many clinical settings and decades of direct practice with individuals across the lifespan.
To start, she asks people to clarify their main concerns and goals, then selects approaches that match those aims. Sessions are structured and skills-based, with attention to real-life problems like parenting, career stress, grief, and challenges related to attention and impulse control.
How CBT, ACT and DBT approaches translate to online work
Robyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways online, helping people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments between sessions to change daily routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and teach practical steps for acting toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when relationships are strained.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Robyn will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means sessions can include skills practice, homework, or short experiments chosen together rather than following a fixed script.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, require less travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. If a quieter setting, lower bandwidth, or a brief phone check-in would help, discuss those needs when scheduling so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday routines.
