More about Robin
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am licensed in Missouri with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse. I have worked with a multitude of different people to include the military community, children, women, men, lgbtq, all with unique situations. I believe telling your story in an unbiased, compassionate, caring and non-judgmental atmosphere helps you to understand yourself, in the most realistic way. My intent is to help you gain the power to make the changes you need in your life. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes an active participation in wanting to process some difficult emotions and change some behaviors that you make not like about yourself. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. The journey is hard work, but as always with hard work comes reward. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
