About Robyn
Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience based in Connecticut. She helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting challenges, career concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. Robyn has worked across hospitals, inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient clinics, and in-home care, and she brings that practical experience into sessions.
Robyn trained in psychology at Roger Williams University and completed a Master of Social Work at Boston University. She says the first step in therapy is building a connection so work can progress. Sessions are client-centered, strengths-based, and solutions-focused, with an emphasis on concrete goals.
She uses a blend of approaches to match the person and the problem. Techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are included when they fit a client's needs. Robyn works with mood disorders, anxiety, substance-related issues, trauma, and relationship challenges alongside the other areas listed.
In practice she helps people identify skills and develop simple, realistic plans. That can mean learning ways to manage anger, setting boundaries, improving communication, or handling stress at work. Sessions tend to focus on small steps someone can try between appointments.
Robyn aims for clear goals and measurable progress rather than abstract talk. She invites clients to describe what they want to change, then helps set practical actions to get there.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions instead. It is useful for anger that comes from getting stuck on certain thoughts or stories about others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns. CBT can help with workplace frustration, rumination, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful when anger leads to heated interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robyn will discuss these methods with each person and help decide which mix fits their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or a work break, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins. Other practical benefits include shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited and using video sessions for role-play or communication practice. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote work so skills are practiced between sessions.
