About Robin

Dr. Robin Avery meets people who are overwhelmed by stress, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, addiction, and major life transitions. She works with adults who are coping with caregiving strain, career challenges, body image and eating concerns, trauma, and intimacy-related difficulties. Dr. Avery draws on nearly two decades of clinical practice as a North Carolina and California licensed psychologist to help people find clearer footing in difficult times.

Her approach is practical and steady. She listens first, then helps people identify what matters most to them. Sessions often include skill-building for managing strong feelings and strategies for coping when situations can’t be changed. She also supports people in exploring patterns that get in the way of connection and wellbeing.

Dr. Avery blends several psychotherapy methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based practices. She uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Dialectical behavior ideas and client-centered listening are woven into her work when they fit a person’s needs.

Her style is empathic and collaborative. She aims to make complex problems easier to understand. Work in therapy focuses on building small, usable changes and clearer self-understanding rather than quick fixes.

With 18 years of experience and licenses as a psychologist in North Carolina and California, she brings clinical knowledge and practical wisdom to sessions. People typically leave with concrete tools for coping, improved emotional awareness, and clearer plans for moving forward.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, and to take steps toward the life they value. It can help with depression, anxiety, and decision points during life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and can be useful for intimacy issues, relationship struggles, and long-standing patterns of insecurity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered for this practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time that would otherwise interrupt a workday. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping skills, practice new interactions, and support emotional processing in ways that fit a person's everyday routine.
