Robyn Scher, LCSW

Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing grief, anger, career decisions, intimacy issues, ADHD, and life transitions. Robyn writes plainly and listens first to understand what matters most to each person.

Robyn favors building a strong connection at the start of work together. She focuses on strengths and practical steps rather than long explanations. Sessions are collaborative - she helps people set clear goals and tries methods that fit their daily lives.

Her background includes work in hospitals, inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient mental health clinics, and home-based care. That variety shaped an adaptable approach to different needs and routines. Robyn completed an undergraduate degree in psychology at Roger Williams University and a Master of Social Work at Boston University.

Robyn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape sessions. She uses these approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and act on values they care about. The work often includes practical exercises to try between meetings.

People who meet with Robyn can expect straightforward talk, a plan that matches their goals, and gradual skill-building. She emphasizes small, achievable steps so progress feels real and manageable.

Online approaches that focus on skills and values

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into specific patterns and teaches practical strategies to shift those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. ACT helps people accept difficult feelings while still moving toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for grief, life transitions, and chronic worry.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. DBT teaches techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Robyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other routines.
