Robin Johnson , LMSW, LICSW

Robin Johnson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people when life feels unmanageable or out of control. She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client sets the pace and goals while she provides guidance, practical tools, and accountability. Many people come to her seeking mood improvement, clearer boundaries, support through life transitions, processing past trauma, or assistance with substance use - and Robin treats that first step of asking for help as meaningful progress.

Her approach is direct and transparent while remaining warm and approachable. She balances respect, empathy, and compassion with occasional use of humor and frank feedback when it helps move work forward. Robin blends traditional and evidence-based methods with practical skills training, offering DBT-based skills and emotion regulation work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered talk therapy, solution-focused strategies, mindfulness practices, grounding and anchoring exercises, and relaxation methods.

Robin holds LMSW and LICSW credentials - Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - and draws on those training frameworks to support clients across a range of concerns. She routinely addresses anger management, anxiety, mood disorders including bipolar presentations, obsessive-compulsive patterns, relationship and communication problems, grief and loss, sexual abuse recovery, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and self-harm behaviors, internet and substance-related issues, and a range of women’s and LGBTQ concerns.

Availability is primarily Monday through Friday during daytime hours, with occasional chat sessions offered some evenings and weekends when feasible. Robin aims to make therapy practical and skills-focused, helping people build coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and navigate next steps in their lives.

Could Online Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can really make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is convenience. People can connect with a licensed professional in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule. That flexibility can help sustain momentum and make regular support more attainable.

Therapists who offer remote services are licensed professionals, and clients are free to request a different therapist at any time if they feel a change would be a better fit. For many individuals, online therapy provides a practical, accessible way to pursue consistent mental health care and skills-building work.
