About Robin
Dr. Robin Andrus is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 31 years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can feel heard and begin to sort out what matters most to them.
Her work blends practical, evidence-based methods with a warm, relational style. Sessions focus on clear tools people can use after they leave, not just conversation. Dr. Andrus helps clients notice patterns, develop new skills, and build on strengths they already have.
She often supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, parenting strain, and identity concerns such as LGBT issues are listed among the topics she addresses. She also works with people dealing with trauma, ADHD, and shifts in life roles.
Dr. Andrus uses a mix of approaches like attachment-informed work, client-centered care, and cognitive behavioral techniques to match each person's needs. Her sessions tend to be collaborative - she listens first, then suggests small, practical steps to try between meetings.
People who prefer a respectful, steady therapist who offers concrete strategies and emotional support may find this approach helpful. The goal in therapy is clearer thinking, stronger coping, and more confidence in handling everyday challenges.
How therapy approaches adapt to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes safe, trusting connections and looks at how early relationships shape current patterns; it can help with attachment questions, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and uses empathetic listening to help people find their own answers; it is useful for stress, grief, identity, and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, trying options and adjusting as needed. This helps ensure sessions feel useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting conversations into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to meet without travel time. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. The therapist uses her clinical approaches to guide online sessions much as she would in person, focusing on clear tools and steady support that fit into everyday life.
