About Robin
Robin Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, trauma and addiction issues including process addictions and substance use. He also works with people managing ADHD, bipolar symptoms, grief, intimacy struggles, and seasonal mood shifts.
He favors a relationship-oriented style. Sessions are conversational and direct. He encourages people to name practical goals and to build on strengths they already have.
Background and approach
Expectations and small steps are agreed on early so progress can be tracked. Robin uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to reshape unhelpful thoughts and actions. He pairs that with solution-focused work to create clear, short-term plans.
For couples, he draws on elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce recurring conflict. He brings experience from family preservation work, which involved helping individuals, teens, couples, and adults navigate crises and keep household relationships stable. That background informs his attention to safety, routines, and parenting skills when those topics come up in sessions.
Robin describes himself as non-religious but familiar with Christian backgrounds and some issues common among Latter-day Saints. He centers clients’ values and choices rather than imposing beliefs. English-language care is provided from Oregon, and sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Robin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns and habits that create stress or keep problems going. CBT is practical and often focuses on small, doable experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.He also uses solution-focused therapy to break big issues into manageable steps. This approach centers on what clients want to see happen next and builds short-term plans that can be checked each week. For couples work he incorporates Gottman-informed techniques to help partners communicate more clearly and reduce repeated arguments.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Plans are revisited so the work can be adjusted based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief updates, between-session coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing life demands.
