Robyn Ott , LCSW

Robyn Ott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of clinical experience, including 28 years in private practice. As an LCSW she is trained to provide assessment and psychotherapy to individuals facing a wide range of concerns. Her work centers on helping people move past stuck patterns - whether those show up as mood disorders, difficult relationships, self-defeating behaviors, parenting challenges, unhealthy thinking, or low self-esteem. She offers specific, goal-directed therapy to help clients clarify what they want to change and build the skills needed to sustain those changes.

Clients can expect a blend of patience, directness, and compassion combined with practical tools drawn from a long career. Robyn uses a strengths-focused, positive approach to help people identify their abilities and apply them to long-standing problems. She emphasizes pacing, incremental goal setting, and accountability so progress feels manageable and measurable. For people willing to explore possibilities, learn new tools, and work toward new goals, she provides guidance designed to foster confidence and hope. Robyn looks forward to supporting clients as they begin the next chapter of personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Robyn draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor care to each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel understood and supported as they discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robyn works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers the flexibility to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and maintain continuity of care while pursuing meaningful change.
