About Robyn
Robyn Thorsted is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people navigate grief, parenting strains, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with concerns like stress, addiction, relationship and family problems, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Robyn communicates in plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
With nine years of licensed practice and a long history of community work, she draws on several therapeutic approaches.
Background and approach
Her work includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and attachment-based ideas to improve important relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions tend to center on the client’s story and strengths.
Robyn treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them find tools that fit their situation. Conversations focus on small, doable changes and building confidence to try them. Robyn has additional experience with adoption and foster care matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Online support
How approaches like EFT and ACT work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns. It helps identify key feelings and change the ways people respond to them so relationships and self-understanding improve. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and to take actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns and how they influence trust, closeness, and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robyn will explore your goals, preferences, and needs and suggest methods that fit. She collaborates with clients to blend approaches when that better serves a problem, and checks in regularly to make adjustments together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video sessions allow visual connection for emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter, shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or if typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while working with a licensed professional.
