About Robyn
Robyn Thorsted is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people manage grief, anxiety, stress, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports those facing depression, relationship and family tensions, parenting struggles, and major life transitions. Her approach is practical and respectful and she centers each conversation on the person in front of her.
Robyn keeps sessions focused on what matters now. She listens for strengths and builds from those. She uses straightforward techniques to reduce overwhelm, improve coping, and strengthen communication.
Background and approach
Many sessions include skill practice and simple, real-world steps to try between meetings. Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based methods. Robyn blends these to match a person's needs instead of following a single script.
The goal is to make therapy useful and easy to apply to daily life. Robyn holds the LCMHC credential, which indicates licensure to practice in Utah. She has nine years of formal clinical experience and a long history of community work with families and individuals.
That background informs a practical, empathetic style. Sessions are offered in English and are available online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She prioritizes a respectful, collaborative relationship and helps people find manageable ways to feel more in control and connected.
How online therapy and approach come together
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward values-based action; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions, and it can help when communication, trust, or closeness feel difficult.Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for real-time conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue care from wherever a person is located in Utah.
