About Robyn
Robyn Scher, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), is licensed in New York and Connecticut and has 22 years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, anger, career issues, ADHD, and life transitions using approaches she names as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Robyn emphasizes building a working connection at the start. She describes her work as client-centered, strengths-based, and solutions-focused. Sessions aim to identify current strengths and practical steps toward the client’s goals.
Her background includes hospital, inpatient psychiatric, outpatient clinic, and in-home social work. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Roger Williams University and a Master of Social Work from Boston University. Those roles shaped her experience with mood disorders, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and relationship challenges.
In practice she uses a mix of methods to fit what a person needs. She helps clients clarify goals, learn coping skills, and create everyday plans to handle stressors. The work is collaborative and oriented toward measurable change.
Robyn writes that she looks forward to working with people who reach out and that taking the first step is important. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life changes make decisions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching skills to manage symptoms and test new ways of responding.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These strategies can be useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and developing steadier coping habits.
Robyn treats the choice of approach as collaborative. She will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, and some formats may let a shorter check-in fit into a work break or require less bandwidth than a video call. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care and adapt sessions to everyday life.
