About Robin

Robin Gross is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of practice in Texas. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and related issues. Robin works with people across the lifespan and aims to make conversations simple and practical.

She speaks English and brings a down-to-earth presence to sessions. Robin draws on many therapy styles to match what each person needs. She blends practical skills with empathetic listening.

Background and approach

Sessions often include teaching coping skills, improving communication, and planning small steps toward change. Parents can expect clear, usable strategies for day-to-day challenges. Her background includes decades of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

That history has given her familiarity with child development, family dynamics, and life transitions. She also has experience supporting clients facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. Robin offers faith-informed Christian counseling when clients want it, while honoring whatever beliefs a person brings.

Her goal is to respect cultural and spiritual differences and tailor care to individual values. She aims to help people rebuild confidence and handle what comes next. Work with Robin typically focuses on practical problem solving and skill building.

Together clients identify goals, test small changes, and build routines that fit their lives. The approach is collaborative and paced to each family or individual.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while focusing on personal values and small steps toward change. It can help with anxiety, life transitions, and parenting stress by clarifying what matters and guiding action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns by giving clear tools to test and shift routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on recognizing and shifting emotional responses in relationships and family interactions to improve connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person or family to pick methods that fit needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options allow parents and caregivers to work on skills from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and follow up between meetings. The format supports flexible, ongoing care from licensed professionals who focus on practical strategies and family-centered solutions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
