Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care with Dr. Robinson

Dr. Robinson commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings without getting stuck, and take meaningful action aligned with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that maintain distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and panic-related concerns.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to ensure sessions remain empathetic and driven by each person’s perspective, which can be especially helpful for family, identity, and bereavement issues. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Dr. Robinson works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences.

Online therapy with a licensed professional makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiving or mobility limitations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person appointments are difficult, while preserving a consistent therapeutic relationship.
