About Robyn
Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of experience who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports concerns like depression, relationship problems, parenting pressures, grief, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, ADHD, and major life changes.

Robyn builds sessions around a simple idea: start with connection. She emphasizes a client-centered style that looks for strengths and practical steps. Conversations focus on clear goals and everyday strategies that people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
She draws on different approaches to find what fits each person. Her background includes work in hospitals, inpatient psychiatric units, outpatient clinics, and home-based settings. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Roger Williams University and a master’s in social work from Boston University.
Those roles gave her experience with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and relationship difficulties. In the room she keeps language plain and action-oriented. Expect to talk through current struggles, identify skills that already work, and practice new ways of coping.
Treatment plans are collaborative and focused on small, achievable changes. People who want a strengths-based path will find an emphasis on problem-solving and connection. Robyn encourages curiosity about what helps and what gets in the way.
She offers steady support while people try new approaches and adjust goals as needed.
How ACT, CBT, and DBT can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, focuses on building skills for emotional regulation, tolerance of distress, and clearer communication. It can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and problems with anger.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from wherever they are, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day and to get ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other life demands.
