About Robin
Robin Gross is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience in mental health care. She helps people who feel stuck because of stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, or ADHD. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical steps that fit daily life.
Robin uses clear, concrete tools to help clients manage overwhelming emotions and improve everyday functioning. She draws from approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on problem solving, coping skills, and rebuilding confidence. Her background includes long experience across many settings in Texas, including inpatient and outpatient care and support around life transitions. She has worked with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and career or identity shifts.
That range informs a flexible, tailored way of working. Robin offers faith-informed Christian counseling when desired, while respecting people of other faiths or no faith. She combines different methods to match each person's needs rather than using a single approach for everyone.
The goal is practical progress you can notice between sessions. In sessions clients can expect a collaborative plan, concrete tools for coping, and gentle encouragement to try new ways of managing problems. Robin aims to help people regain momentum, improve relationships, and find steadier ground during life’s changes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then take action that matches their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Robin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed, making the process collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging can support brief reflections, homework check-ins, or ongoing coaching between longer appointments. Overall, online options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady momentum between sessions.
