She has worked in New York since 2006 and built a independent practice in Manhattan beginning in 2009. Robyn has experience with professionals at different stages, from recent graduates to people in demanding careers.

She listens closely and aims to make conversations feel practical and grounded for busy lives. Robyn trained in a range of settings, including large medical centers and community agencies.

Background and approach

She completed a three-year post graduate certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and continues in supervision and study groups focused on relational psychotherapy. That background shaped her skill at deep listening and thoughtful intervention. In practice she helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood changes, grief, addiction concerns, and transitions at work or home.

She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting questions, career concerns, and questions about sexual orientation and identity. Sessions are aimed at making daily life feel more manageable and meaningful. Robyn moved much of her work online to accommodate busy schedules and to make therapy easier to fit into life.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Her approach combines steady attention to the person in front of her with practical steps people can use between sessions. She is licensed in New York as an LCSW, license number NY LCSW 077868.

People who are ready to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their calendar.

Therapeutic techniques and how they work online

Robyn draws on psychoanalytic psychotherapy training to help people notice patterns that come up in relationships and daily life. This approach involves careful listening and reflection to understand how past and present experiences shape current feelings. It can be useful for persistent mood or relationship patterns that feel hard to change.

She also integrates relational psychotherapy ideas that focus on how interactions with others affect wellbeing. That means sessions often look at how communication and connection influence stress, intimacy, and self-esteem. These methods can help people test new ways of relating and feel more at ease with themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Robyn will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules. Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. This variety makes it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, school, and family responsibilities.
