Robin Behar, LMHC

Robin Behar uses a practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to help people manage symptoms and change unhelpful habits. She is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who brings 33 years of experience to sessions. Robin writes plans with clients and focuses on clear, doable steps rather than long lectures.

Clients often come for help with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and questions about identity or self-esteem. She also supports people facing parenting strains, relationship concerns, career transitions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She offers life coaching-style support when someone wants more direction or structure.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Robin aims for a warm tone and straightforward feedback. She listens first, then helps people try new ways of thinking and acting that they can practice between meetings.

Her work draws on acceptance and commitment methods and attachment-focused ideas alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused practices. That lets her adapt to what each person needs rather than using one fixed method.

Robin has used experiential options, including therapy with animals, for clients who may benefit from that kind of session. She also has experience supervising emerging mental health counselors. Her practice is based in Florida and sessions are offered in English.

How Robin blends CBT and acceptance approaches online

Robin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new behaviors. CBT is hands-on and focused on specific problems like anxiety, depression, or stress, with tasks to try between sessions.

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and clarifying personal values to guide action. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationships and emotional bonds are central to a concern, helping people understand patterns and try different ways of relating.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping. That collaborative process helps people feel involved in choosing what to try.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy days.
