About Robyn
Robyn Thorsted is an LCMHC licensed in Utah with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on grief and loss, parenting concerns, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and coping with life changes. Her work also includes stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and depression.
Robyn presents practical, straightforward sessions. She treats conversations as a place to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She helps people name what is getting in the way and try small, concrete changes to daily routines and responses.
Her background includes long-term community work with families, and she draws on a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her practice alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods shape how she structures sessions and suggests exercises between meetings.
In sessions she listens for patterns linked to worry, avoidance, and shame. She uses short, practical tools to shift thinking and behavior, and she supports learning skills to manage impulses and intense emotions. She also works on communication skills and practical parenting strategies when that comes up.
Robyn supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, codependency, grief around hospice and end-of-life, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Her approach emphasizes steady, repeatable steps rather than one-time fixes, with attention to what a person can do between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in Utah. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Robyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions often include clear exercises and short homework tasks that fit into daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people accept difficult feelings while choosing values-guided actions, useful for grief, anxiety, or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT tools, adding ACT practices for values and acceptance, or using DBT skills for emotion regulation when impulses or intense stress are present.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life examples to session conversations. Robyn frames remote work around the client's needs and daily routines rather than promising a fixed format.
