About Robin
Robin Gross is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting strains, and many life changes. Robin focuses on helping people feel steadier and more able to cope in daily life.
She listens first and builds an approach around each person's needs. Sessions draw on somatic work alongside cognitive and acceptance-based techniques. Robin also uses client-centered and skills-based methods when helpful, so people learn concrete tools to manage emotions and relationships.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience in inpatient and outpatient settings and work across the lifespan. Robin has supported people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care challenges, attachment and developmental concerns, and adjustment after major life events. She offers faith-informed Christian counseling when clients want that perspective, while respecting different beliefs and cultures.
Robin aims for a respectful, down-to-earth style that keeps the client's values central. Treatment focuses on practical steps - strengthening coping skills, improving communication, and addressing physical signs of stress through somatic awareness. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more confidence managing difficult moments.
To begin, Robin helps people set realistic goals and choose approaches that match their needs. Her work emphasizes collaboration, clear tools, and steady support through change.
How somatic and acceptance approaches work online
Somatic work helps people notice how stress shows up in the body and then learn gentle ways to ease physical tension. This can help with anxiety, trauma responses, and sleep problems by bringing awareness to breathing, posture, and bodily signals.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It supports people who feel stuck by combining mindful acceptance with concrete behavior change. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person's priorities guide the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That ongoing collaboration lets the plan change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions into busy lives, access help from home, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt somatic, ACT, and client-centered techniques to work well in remote sessions, while helping clients build practical tools for daily life.
