About Robin Carver
Robin spent six years on a hospital mental health unit where she managed discharge planning, led group work, and conducted suicide assessments, and she provided daily therapeutic intervention for children and adolescents for 4.5 years in a Therapeutic Day Treatment Program serving ages five through 18. Over eleven years she held supervisory responsibilities for the TDT Program and a School Based Outpatient Counseling Program, offering clinical supervision to clinicians pursuing LPS and LCSW licensure, and she also supervised an Intensive Care Coordination program for two years.
Since May 2022 she has worked with adults and teens through online counseling, bringing those clinical skills to remote formats. Her practice centers on building a trusting relationship as the foundation for change; she emphasizes warmth, acceptance, attentive listening, and reflective feedback. Once rapport is established, she collaborates with clients to identify strengths and values, teach coping skills, and develop practical strategies to address symptoms and life challenges. Robin values walking alongside people in their process of growth, honoring each person as resilient and unique, and she approaches each therapeutic relationship with humility and care.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship by offering empathy, active listening, and acceptance. This approach helps people explore their feelings and identify personal values while feeling supported in a nonjudgmental way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns by teaching concrete coping skills and behavioral strategies. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events with techniques designed to process difficult memories and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life, making it useful for those who have experienced abuse, loss, or other traumatic stressors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Robin works with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what is most helpful. This partnership helps tailor care to each individual’s circumstances.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when in-person sessions are not possible. Therapists can use these formats to deliver effective, evidence-informed strategies while working with clients in a convenient and accessible way.
