About Robyn
Robyn Scher is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. She keeps things practical and direct so parents can get clear tools to manage everyday challenges. Robyn aims to build a strong working connection before moving into skill-building work.
Robyn has worked in hospitals, inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient clinics, and in peoples homes.
Background and approach
That variety gives her a broad view of how problems show up in different places. She uses that background to tailor plans that fit each persons daily life. Her approach centers on the person in front of her.
Sessions are client-centered, strengths-based, and focused on solutions. She helps people identify what is already working and then adds simple, practical strategies to reach clear goals. Robyn draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
She blends ideas from those methods to teach coping skills, manage overwhelming feelings, and change unhelpful patterns. She holds a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Roger Williams University and a Master of Social Work from Boston University. Robyn practices in Connecticut and runs sessions that fit parents busy schedules, using formats that match their needs.
Parents who want straightforward help with behavior, mood, or communication can expect a collaborative, step-by-step process. Robyn encourages small changes that add up to better family functioning and less daily stress.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match parenting and life goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches practical skills to change worried thoughts and unwanted behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday parenting challenges where routines and reactions matter.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those skills help when emotions feel intense or when relationships and intimacy are strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robyn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations while fitting into a tight schedule. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions and get timely coaching or reminders. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family life and work.
