About Robyn

Robyn Ott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of clinical experience. She invites people who want a change in perspective and practical tools to address mood, behavior, or relationship concerns. Her tone is direct but compassionate, and she focuses on helping clients set small goals that add up to meaningful change.

Robyn uses goal-directed work to clarify what someone wants to change and why. She emphasizes pacing, incremental steps, and accountability so clients can practice new skills between sessions. The approach is practical and strengths-focused, helping people notice and use their abilities to solve old problems.

Her practice supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, and sleep concerns. Robyn also addresses parenting questions, career shifts, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include body image, codependency, abandonment, blended family issues, and aging and geriatric concerns.

Robyn draws on several therapeutic styles to match the work to each person. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered techniques depending on the need. This mix lets her tailor sessions to goals such as changing thought patterns, improving relationships, or managing emotion and behavior.

Robyn has spent many years in private practice and has helped people who want to learn tools and build confidence. She encourages commitment to the process and offers practical strategies for lasting change. To begin, she asks people to be ready to try new skills and set achievable goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which is useful for mood, worry, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, helping with overwhelming feelings and improving how someone copes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This happens collaboratively over the first sessions so the plan can change as progress is made.

Please confirm current session format options before scheduling so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow continuity when routines change. It can also let people use shorter check-ins or choose sessions that better fit their work and family schedules. Licensed professionals adapt the style and pacing to what works best for each person.
