About Robyn
Robyn Costanzo is a licensed clinical social worker with a decade of experience helping people balance work and life. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, career concerns, parenting, and related struggles. Her voice is practical and steady for people facing pressure at work or at home.
Robyn started practice in Manhattan and worked with a wide mix of clients, from recent graduates to tech executives. She later added work in Westchester County and moved to remote sessions to better fit busy schedules.
Background and approach
Her background includes roles in large medical centers and smaller community agencies, giving her a range of clinical experiences. She completed a three year post-graduate certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and takes part in ongoing supervision and study groups that emphasize relational work. That training shaped her focus on deep listening and thoughtful intervention rather than quick fixes.
Robyn uses practical conversation to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people talk through mood shifts, workplace stress, relationship tension, parenting worries, grief, and changes in life direction.
The approach aims to make daily life feel more manageable and less overwhelming. Robyn welcomes people who want a steady, experienced clinician to think things through with them. She offers clear steps and realistic strategies while attending to the underlying feelings that shape behavior.
Many clients come for help with feeling more comfortable in their own skin and improving connections with others.

Evidence-based approaches and online options
Robyn draws on relational psychotherapy principles that focus on patterns in relationships and how they shape feelings and behavior. This approach involves close listening and exploring recurring interactions to help clients try new ways of connecting and coping, useful for relationship tension, intimacy concerns, and workplace dynamics.She also uses psychodynamic ideas from her post-graduate training to look at lasting patterns from earlier experience that influence current choices and moods. This helps people understand why they react a certain way and opens up options for change when facing stress, anxiety, or grief.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Robyn will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs to decide which ways of working make the most sense, and she adjusts the plan as the work unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is well suited for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break during the workday or be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging let clients check in between sessions or share quick updates without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules.
