About Robin
Robin Ross is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of practice. He focuses on family and parenting concerns and common problems that strain relationships. Parents and individuals often seek him out for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficulties with intimacy or self-esteem.
He spends time helping people untangle relationship dynamics. He brings a relationship-oriented stance and practical strategies to conversations. He aims to help clients notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to face current problems.
Robin has worked in Family Preservation Therapy and has experience supporting people dealing with addictions such as pornography, gambling, and substance use. He also helps with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, seasonal affective disorder, and paranoia when these issues affect day-to-day life and family interaction.
His approach mixes tried methods like cognitive behavioral therapy with existential questions about meaning and choice. He also uses the Gottman Method tools for couple work and solution-focused techniques for shorter-term goals. This gives people both practical skills and space to reflect on what matters most.
Robin describes himself as non-religious while understanding Christian faith and common concerns for Latter-day Saint people. He works with clients to identify goals and take small steps toward improving communication, mood, and family routines.
How these approaches translate to online work
Robin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of behaving. CBT is practical and often focuses on changing daily habits that affect mood, stress, and relationships. Existential therapy is about looking at values, choice, and meaning when life feels uncertain; it helps people name what matters and make decisions that fit those values.Finding the best approach is a joint process. Robin will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. He aims to combine short-term tools with deeper reflection when needed, so therapy stays focused and relevant to the person's life.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to schedule. It can also let people use video or audio depending on what they prefer and what works best for them.
