About Robin

Dr. Robin Andrus is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 31 years of experience. She creates a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and supported. Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on practical steps clients can use after a session.

She draws on client-centered ways of working to follow each person's priorities. Sessions also use ideas from attachment-based approaches to look at how relationships shape current struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used when a practical plan for thoughts and behaviors helps reduce distress.

Dr. Andrus helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and issues tied to identity and LGBT concerns. She also addresses ADHD, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and problems such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment difficulties.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for strengths and then works with clients to build new skills and clearer thinking. Sessions aim to leave people with concrete tools they can try between meetings.

Over long-term work she supports people in building better boundaries, greater self-compassion, and steadier coping. People looking for a practical, relational approach that combines empathy with skill-building may find her pace and methods a good match.

Approaches that guide online work

Dr. Andrus uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and following each person's priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to tell their story and set goals at their own pace.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. That perspective can help when trust, connection, or patterns with partners and family are central concerns.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try methods and adjust based on what helps most.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as saving commute time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional while managing scheduling or travel constraints.
