Therapeutic approaches applied to online family and individual care

Robyn often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action; ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships that began in early life and to strengthen connection and trust within families and between partners; this approach is helpful for attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and relational difficulties. In addition, Robyn integrates Client-Centered Therapy, providing empathic, nonjudgmental support that helps clients build confidence and self-understanding while exploring their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Robyn collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options together and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, to connect across distances within Utah, and to maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, compassionate support in ways that match each client's lifestyle and communication preferences.
