About Robin

Robin Burns is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Texas with 10 years of experience. She supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and self-esteem concerns. Robin also works with issues tied to family of origin, adoption and foster care, abandonment, and attachment concerns.

Her sessions focus on listening, practical skills, and clear goals. She uses evidence-based methods to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and manage strong emotions. Therapy conversations are straightforward and paced to what an individual can handle that week.

Robin draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. She blends techniques to address thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns that trace back to early family roles or expectations.

Clients often work on improving communication, reducing anxiety, and strengthening sense of self. She also addresses related concerns like caregiver stress, chronic illness coping, body image, and commitment or avoidance patterns. Sessions include skill practice, reflection on family patterns, and planning for real-life changes.

Robin aims to help adults recognize how early family dynamics affect current choices. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, steadier moods, and better relationship skills. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule a first session and to identify goals and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that come from early family roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often includes step-by-step practice to reduce worry and change avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, reduce travel time, or use audio-only check-ins when bandwidth is limited. Therapists who offer remote work often adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so skills transfer into daily life.
